As I've said before and will continue to say..
"We need a more formal model of dealing with reference counts"

i.e. 

we should get a set of reference counting primatives and make it WELL
DOCUMENTED as to how they should be used..

Referenc counting is something that you can't do "a bit". It's like
being pregnant.. either you ARE reference counting, or you are doing
something else. You can't count just "SOME" of the references..
