I think you're right. After Releasing the DDraw object two times, as EE does, 
it's far from beeing freed: It has a refcount of 8!! In particular, creating 
the surface and performing QueryInterface on it increase the refcount by 1, 
creating a D3D device increases the refcount by 7.

I'll do more tests.
