Yes, turning off combine lod's does help. I discovered this early on and
told Mike Wieblen to try it out as a work around. combineLODs() in the
Flight loader makes potentially many calls to pfDelete() and pfRemoveChild()
which appear to aggrevate (create?) the problem. By turning off combine
lod's, you get an extended lease on life ...
