Director's garbage collection is fairly simple, and doesn't deal with
circular references at all.
Another Director quirk is that the symbol table is never cleared - so when
you use a symbol like #something, it remains defined forever and there's no
way of undefining it. This is not normally a problem, but if you use symbols
to do database type things in Lingo (they're more efficient than short
strings), they can slowly eat up memory.
