Sort of a strange phenomenon ... after almost 4 years somebody cared
about destroying resources (aligned with "think Java"). This was
well known since the first day, and it's not just about the keys, it's
also about the PIN codes. Thanks Karen for pointing out the issue.

Dave, what about an update to the CardEdge definition ?

Object memory is the only thing that has been made to be reclaimable,
thanks to the MemoryManager class. Is it still useful in JC-2.2 cards ?
Anyone knows how many cards out there have on-board garbage collection ?
