Maybe, but I can't understand how it could just remove the endpoints and not other things. If seems too targeted and specific. *Maybe*, just maybe, the impl of the storage of the lists of endpoints is implemented such that the endpoint objects wouldn't survive garbage collection under some conditions. That would be a pretty esoteric problem though.

That was what I was vaguely thinking, but I would imagine that would cause problems people would have noticed by now with the regular metadata it actually uses to do work.

Agreed, I would think we would have seen this by now. That code
(XMLObjectChildrenList) hasn't changed much in 8 or 10 years. Just
looked at it. I don't see anything obvious in it (or the LazyList
that is uses internall) that would obviously account for this, like
use of Weak- or SoftReferences. So if it's something like that,
it's very non-obvious and subtle. And probably affects v3 too,
since I doubt those classes have changed much, if at all.<br>
