Thanks for the idea Alex. I just finished looking through my code and can't find anything to indicate something should be available for GC before all listeners are cleaned up.
The really confusing thing is that all the pieces of this system worked just fine before I started my "overhaul" of it. The changes I made were mainly in navigation (page to page) and some minor tweaks here and there. I just can't figure out how the changes I made could have gotten me to this spot. Any other ideas, theories or shots in the dark that I could look at? I am running out of ideas myself at this point. Thanks.
