I've seen a lot more invalid memory operation errors since the GC calls 
destructors. Letting the GC destroy objects out of order can be the 
issue. We might have to make an associative array of static global flags 
(debug bool[void*]) for each object to see if it was destroyed, and use 
asserts in the destructors / update the associative array, as a new idiom.
