Raymond,

My first guess would be to inspect DependentsFields. Certain dependency relationships are maintained in a global dictionary by that name and need to be explicitly released when no longer valid. The method to do that is #removeDependent: which should balance the send of #addDependent: which created the realtionship. Some classes, like Model and MorphicModel maintain these relationships in a more local manner and generally do not cause this problem.

Cheers,
Bob
