I've noticed that background services seem to get killed more aggressively in 1.6, particularly when memory is low. Does that make sense? Also, OCCASIONALLY, background services that have their processes killed to recover resources don't seem to restart. This has been incredibly difficult for me to debug, as attaching a debugger seems to change the rules of the resource mgmt game in some way. Any hints?
