Yes, I see that now.

Not quite. The timeoutList no longer refers to the timeout because that's
what the forget() command does - removes it from the timeoutList.
However, you are right that it isn't mutual references that are causing the
problem. I was imagining that somehow the scriptInstance was maintaining a
reference to the timeoutObject via the local parameter. I see from your
other post that this is not the case. I apologise for my confusing this. And
congratulations/kudos for getting to the root of it. Nasty little gotcha,
that one.

No, it wasn't a typo. Just my sloppy approach to getting it to work for me
;)

Whoa there. I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort. It is nothing short of
your usual elegance - to which I'm sure more than just I aspire.
Again, thanks for taking the time to figure this one out. Is that a wrap?
