Right, but we've said before this is the wrong way to do it. Originally this generic device was part of your adapter structure. Now you're trying to separate it and causing these problems. What it's apparently telling us is that you have some problem with the object lifetime rules in your code. Why should this generic_services device have different lifetime rules from the object in which it used to reside?
