I assume Roderick is talking about the final Release on the d3d
device, ie, the one you got from CreateDevice. The surfaces are
holding a couple of references to the device, and those should get
released when the surface is destroyed, yes. But the application is
also holding a single reference to de device.

Looking at the trace from the multitexture demo, it appears
GetContainer sometimes adds an extra reference to the device. I've
submitted a patch for this to wine-patches.
