Off the cuff:

* Make sure you destruct/unset the model class too, if it gets  
created inside the loop.

* Sounds like we need a __destruct() method for the record class that  
kills off child objects (like relateds, other models, etc).  Perhaps  
we need to go back through *all* the model classes and check for  
parent/child circular relationships.

* ... can't think of much else right now.  :-(
