The finalize() method will be called the next time that Garbage Collection
is done. Unreferenced objects are not immediately collected. If you
put a call to "System.gc()" after each call to "testing()", then you
should see the finalizer getting called. If you put one call to System.gc()
at the end of the main() method, then you should see both finalizers called
together there...
