that's right, but I don't restart the server in between.

Well, I just deleted the persistent objects (lets call them A) which have
a list attribute which have references to other persistent objects (lets
call them B). So I expect that all B's will also be deleted as well,
because the references from the A's do no longer exist.
But as the debug info as well as the leak finder product tell me the 20000
references to the B's still exist.
