How can i clear a reference?

I ran into trouble before when I had a bunch of objects that I was
observing.  When I overwrote those objects, the old objects stayed
around (because the other objects were still observing them).  I think
a call to delete_observers fixed my problem.  And I think something
like that might be the cause of my problem.
