TabbedMDIManager leaks MDI child forms

Hi,
I noticed a leak of MDI child forms in the TabbedMDI sample in version 4.4.0.51
I am using SciTech .NET Memory Profiler
(http://memprofiler.com/)
to detect this. When closed MDI child forms
are only being disposed. Their instances are not being garbage collected at all!
Can I somehow fix this with 4.4.0.51?

It appears that the TabbedMDIManager has a DrawIconHelper member that holds references to all MDI child forms. These references are never cleared. Therefore child forms are never collected.

TabbedMDIManager also has a member called " controlToLayoutOnUnlockTimer". It holds a child form reference either. When I clear these fields via reflection child forms are being collected. However the last closed form still stays in memory.

MainFrameBarManager sometimes keeps references to child forms as well. This causes the same defect.

I have the same problem on the same version of the product (4.402.0.51). My memory profiler shows that m_drawIcons has a reference to a hash table that references my child form. I can find no way of removing this reference.

Please help
