Yes all of those should really only be called once on application exit. As it says: "These internal tables can be freed up when an application closes using various functions". Some of the functions will restart later but others (due to current API limitations) will not. In other cases there may be undesirable side effects: for example if a crypto device goes through a complex startup procedure when it is initialised. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
