// THIS IS A HACK

// We've got a weird crash that happens terribly inconsistently, but pretty
// readily on migrie's laptop, only in Debug mode. Apparently, there's some
// weird ref-counting magic that goes on during teardown, and our
// Application doesn't get closed quite right, which can cause us to crash
// into the debugger. This of course, only happens on exit, and happens
// somewhere in the XamlHost.dll code.
//
// Crazily, if we _manually leak the Application_ here, then the crash
// doesn't happen. This doesn't matter, because we really want the
// Application to live for _the entire lifetime of the process_, so the only
// time when this object would actually need to get cleaned up is _during
// exit_. So we can safely leak this Application object, and have it just
// get cleaned up normally when our process exits.
