Thanks Dale for the pointer. Code is running... I will know soon enough if
it worked or not.

After having this issue, I was also reading IndexManager class comment:

*" Automatic garbage collection of unreferenced UnorderedCollections is
_not_ preformed, so*
* one must explicitly remove all indexes from an UnorderedCollection that
is no longer used.*
*"*

So...my obvious question is...why not storing the indexes directly into the
collection? (I won't ask if you thought about it because you obviously did,
so there must be reasons)  That would solve GC issue.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,
