Hmmm... that makes sense, as the service program in question does indeed
remain active.

This, of course, brings up the age old question ... how the heck do you
force a service program to unload from memory?  It's running in the QILE
activation group.

Ordinarily, we don't want this service program to unload ... as we get
performance improvements.  In the case of a web app, we would want it to
unload between invocations.

Thanks!
