> Detach the children at object destruction

Oops, hmm well. Now I understand what you're solving. This patch was actually 
kinda correct (albeit inefficient), sorry. It's a matter of choice though. 
I'd personnaly rather not have any dead object left over in the structure 
anyhow, so I prefer to detach children at destruction (as this patch did) 
rather than have the big refcount hack in FindObject.

If we go that route, the children leak code probably needs to be removed. I 
expect it will never detect any error anymore.

N.B.: I still believe the "cleanup" patch was totally wrong, however tempting 
the cleanup may seem.
