The clean_up() function is called by the driver on a regu-
lar basis in all objects that have been inactive for the
time specified for clean_up() in the runtime configuration
file. One flag is passed to the function, specifying
whether or not the object has been inheritted by anything.
If clean_up() returns 0, clean_up() will never be called
again on that object. If it returns 1, it will be called
again when the object remains inactive for the specified
clean_up() delay.
One thing that might be commonly done by an object in this
function is destructing itself to conserve memory.
