Run your program from the command line, and don't compile it with -WG
(ie: tell the compiler it is a console program, not a GUI one - if you
are using Windows).

If it takes so long to shut down, that means you have a heck of a lot
of memory leaks. As you can guess, that is bad and should always be
fix! Simply disabling heaptrc is not really a solution.


But yes I fully understand "releas builds" of your application
shouldn't include heaptrc. But memory leaks should be fixed none the
less.
