Is there a way to make sure that finalization always occurs; that an
object's finalize() method is always called before program exit?

There are ways to improve the chances the finalization
will occur, but as far as I know there is no way to be
completely sure.

Why do you care? Are you a C++ convert who thinks
finalizers are destructors? They're not, and can't act
as destructor substitutes -- not reliably, anyhow.
