[Qt-interest] pls

As I understand it, this program is supposed to magically free up all 
the memory that is "leaked by Qt" by, um...,  allocating all available 
system memory  (ooh, including swap!) and then exiting.  

My guess is that it probably appears to make a difference in reported 
memory free on his system after he runs it due to it completely 
thrashing (and temporarily freeing up) any memory that had been used by 
system buffers, cache, etc.

Of course this all is hinged on the concept that Qt leaks memory like a 
sieve, which is news to me.  :-)

(Of course, it is April Fool's time, too...)
