 SimplePie, then PHP4 will not automatically destroy it when it falls out
 of scope.  I believe that is the purpose of those calls.

 Yes, there was once a bug in the garbage collector in PHP, you're right.
 But it's a fault in class SimplePie to name their own clean-up function
 __destruct() because __destruct() is a magic to be called by the garbage
 collector. I think that should be patched and the function renamed when
 done properly.
