In particular, the suite_FinalizeObject method core-dumps on Sun-4's
when called from bushv.  (ever wonder why bush takes so long to quit? 
Busy core-dumping.).  And since suite and orgv are both sub-classes of
aptv, I'd suspect something in the aptv code.  But it's too simple. 
Looking at orgv_FinalizeObject, we find that it calls treev_Destroy and
suite_Destroy.  Looking at suite_Destroy, we find it does a number of
frees and destroys (but all seem to work when called from
orgv_FinalizeObject!).  I'll post a note if I find anything.
