I have used resume procedures that allow a "Save and Quit" or "Quit" option
(similar to the ones in MacWrite).  It is true that the system heap may be
mangled ... maybe a warning to the user is in order.  I have not had trouble
using a resume procedure - I have resumed many time without noticing ill
effects, so I think that destruction of the system heap is fairly rare.
