[gclist] A Java question.

[Bryan O'Sullivan]

m> All Java VM's must call finalizers and all as far as I know do.

This is a potentially misleading statement, and should not be read to
imply that an object's finalizer will always be called when it is
garbage collected.

m> I think you may be talking about the fact that once a finalizer has
m> been called once, it will not be called again.

A finalizer may be called more than once in some circumstances.
