I have noticed this also problem with the Finder and find it odd that
*any* process can take over the machine so much that enforced quitting is
prevented. I have further noticed in Panther, that there's not an excess
of VM in use and that there's both free RAM and CPU cycles. Everything
works, but apps won't let themselves be killed. 
I think this is somewhat of an achievement on Apples behalf. How do they
do it?
