[Seaside] Garbage Collection

[Anthony Lander]

Hi Gunther,

I've also noticed anecdotally that session expiry doesn't seem to work on 
VW. Additionally the method Object>>allSubInstances seems incorrect in VW, 
which prevents

        WARegistry clearAllHandlers

from doing it's job. In the meantime, try instead:

        WARegistry withAllSubclasses do: [:c | c clearAllHandlers]

followed by a full garbage collect to see that it gets rid of all the 
WAStore instances.

I'm not sure who manages the VW port, but if that person emails me, I will 
happily send along unit tests and bug fixes. (anthony dot lander at 
sympatico dot ca).

All the best,

  -anthony
