Perhaps you are misunderstanding what I was getting at.

I am (now) familiar with all of these approaches to dealing with
circular references. They are (relatively) easy to code, but difficult
to implement given how MT's code is structured and in maintaining
backwards compatibility.

As I mentioned in the message I just sent out, besides the template,
node, tokens circular reference that is most prevalent I suspect that
other, albeit slower, memory leaks exist between other MT::Objects
given how they cache each other. Sound possible?
