The version of zView I sometimes use only gets killed at exit with MP
on. Nothing else happens.

I agree. The OS should in no case be as vulnarable as MiNT currently is.

I guess XaAES would need its own malloc-lib (one pool for each client)
to avoid this "invalid MAGIC"-crap (and maybe improve performance). But
that's a long way to go, and before that there are surly some other
things that can be improved.
