Exactly. It's when you have two objects A and B, each referring to the other and no other object in memory pointing to one of them. Old GCs had problem with that because they used reference counters. In this case, the counters equals to one in both objects whereas the GC collects only objects with a zero-count. -- Damien Cassou Peter von der Ahé: «I'm beginning to see why Gilad wished us good luck».
