However, it does look like we will have to kill the monitor in clear().
Is there some reason clear() can't just call rt_finalize?
does rt_finalize not deallocate the memory? If so, that's probably the
right thing to do. In fact, I think it does exactly what we want. It
calls collectHandler, what does that mean?
I'm thinking you are right. Why didn't you speak up before I went through
all this trouble? ;)
