Odd that it worked all these years, it is something I can easily change 
on my end--only un_ref'ing the context
on the 'non main' main loop.

However...

For some reason I was under the impression it gave me a reference, 
particularly because
when I look at that default context, its ref_count is 1, not 0. My clean 
up routine is the last thing executed before exit(), so
wouldn't this mean there is a memory leak? I guess it is not a big deal 
since it can only happen for the first main loop context so
there is only a single context left allocated before exit().
