    Yes, that's what I wanted to do, I think it was somehow just one
    instance of calc that kept 'forking' itself, not something else starting
    new instances ... I had left one running, and even after killing-off the clones, I did keep leaving one open to see what happened.-a After I
    closed them all, none have come back.
    And today the sorcerer has returned.

    Six calc windows,
    I close one from the task bar, and it closes,
    I close another one and that causes two more open ...
