d is a local variable indeed, but it is just an intermediate 
instrument, one that points to a document that is held' by the 
document controller. The object d points to remains connected to a 
root object by being held by the controller.

Just in case: turning of the collector for variable d doesn't make a 
difference. Stil crashes.
