I guess, I was approaching the problem from the wrong side. What I am really interested in are the implications of this fact for the programmer. What I believe to have understood so far is: You have no guarantee that a finalizer you registered will ever be run -- even if the program terminates normally. Is that correct? Or did I misunderstand something?
