Are you absolutely sure that you're not holding a reference to the form 
somewhere ? Because I really doubt that the GC knows anything about Forms, if 
you know what I mean.

Just closing a form doesn't mean it should release its inner objects, IIRC 
you're able to re-open it, aren't you ? This means you must close the form 
and set all references to the form to null so it can be collected.
