Not to be inflammatory, the weak collections have been broken all along.  They 
are not thread safe, and so cannot hope to be adequately cleaned as objects are 
finalized.  My efforts to compensate have been aimed at clearing away nils that 
are left behind.  If the weak collection itself is busted (holds too 
strongly??), then my additions are not going to help.

WeakKeyDictionary, to be specific.
To be frank, to me the new implementation in 1.1 seems simply broken.

Cheers,
