Jaykul said that maybe we don't leak memory but instead just don't
release all com objects.
Can we somehow build a list of all unreleased com objects?

You probably want to make sure that you have it set to check for handle
leaks. I don't remember if its on by default, but i've found it to be
quite
good at finding that stuff. Be sure you're running in debug mode,
instrumented, etc. Let me know if you have any other q's.
