A long time ago I looked at the source for tList.Destroy and it didn't 
seem right because it overrode tObject.Destroy, but didn't call it, it
just called clear that sets count and capacity to 0.

Now I bought a debugging tool called BoundsChecker from NuMega. It 
reported resource leakage where I had tList.create/tList.free pairs.

I modified classes.pas adding inherited destroy to tList.destroy, 
BoundsChecker quit reporting any leakage. Programs didn't change their
behavior.

Does anybody know what's going on?
