I'm not sure what the system puts on the tc_MemEntry list, but I know
that if you add MemEntry's on to it, they will be freed when the task
is terminated.
Some time ago, I looked at some C startup code that automatically
detached the process and ran it in the background. It converted the
process' seglist to a MemList and then tacked it on to the end of the
MemEntry list so that the code would be freed upon exit. I don't know
if Manx or Lattice use this method in their startup code of the same
type.
