I always thought that apps that were in ROM didn't use any heap unless
they were actually in use. I guess I could be wrong about that. I
always thought that user installed packages used heap because they were
loaded into memory as soon as the Newt was started, but built-in apps
weren't activated (loaded) until they were actually in use. Maybe I
have it all wrong tho.
