        Frame f = new Frame("ResourceTest");
        f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
        for (int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(args[0]); ++i)
            f.add(new Button("Button" + i));
        for (int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(args[1]); ++i)
            f.add(new List());
        for (int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(args[2]); ++i)
            f.add(new Choice());
        for (int i = 0; i < Integer.parseInt(args[3]); ++i)

}

The windows in my application have several Choices and Lists.
My users use Windows 95 and when they open 3 windows, they run out of "system" and
"user" resources (as reported by the Resource Monitor application).
As the attached source code will tell you, creating a 100 lists or 100 choices brings
down resources by ~30%.

This is obviously a bad implementation because this does not happen with Microsoft's
SDK. Also, it does not happen on Windows NT. NT seems to have no limitation on user
and system resources.
