Sure enough, it appears abandoned groups of circularly-referenced objects
are indeed kept. I was under the impression that they were discovered and
destroyed.
A single myTimer object that updates Window1.Title on a regular basis fails
to run even once after instantiation. Add a property "other as myTimer" to
the class, create two and set the references and away they go -- lost to the
programmer, but still running.
