Re: Dangerous deallocation/circular reference...

[Will Leshner <leshner at ljug dot com>]

Actually, that's exactly what he means. The trick he has discovered is 
that he can have an object pair with a circular reference to each other 
out in the middle of nowhere with nothing else pointing to them. The 
reason this works is that one of the two is a timer that keeps going off.
The problem is that while one of the objects in the pair breaks the 
circular reference (on purpose) and at that point the two objects should 
vanish as nothing else points to them.
