     a) a great many people would be affected and b) it would get fixed very 
quickly.
I think 'from time to time' is every 120 or so newly created child handles.
Could I suggest that "/array holds weak references/" is changed to 
/"array holds a history of weak references"

/Or something to explain the idea of a growing hash.  I misinterpreted 
your reply at first.

Thanks again,
