Ah, yes, you're completely right; I missed this fact. Apparently 
under these conditions, you _can_ resurrect objects, but it's bad 
practice (and unnecessary) in most situations.


@Andrei: The reason this is allowed is that finalization is 
_separate_ from garbage collection in .NET. So an object can be 
finalized and yet still not GC'd. Or its finalizer might be 
suppressed, allowing it to get GC'd directly. This allows for 
many possibilities, although you don't usually need them.
