I'll send you the file and you can decide. Another possibility would be to 
fork each KApplication instance as a separate process (creating the 
KApplication in the child process), although that would make collecting 
results a little more involved.

In that case, my guess would be that the underlying C++ KApplication object 
isn't getting destroyed until the application actually exits. I don't believe 
there's any way to guarantee that that happens.

I'll send it to you via email - it's not very big, but a little big to post to 
the list.
