Since a post last week by, I think, Mario, I've been playing
with trying to create a memory leak by repeatedly building a
pfScene and pfDeleting it. In the process, I watch reference
counts and the response of pfDelete (which returns true or
false about it's success).

    What I notice is that objects attached to geosets claim that
their reference counts are not decreased when the geode containing
the geoset is deleted. Is this because deletion occurs asynchronously
and it may take awhile before the deletion actually occurs?
