The general priniciple is that a deserialized object will be restored to the state it
had when originally serialized.  Hence, collections are cleared before
reloading.  

I'll tweak the documentation to better make this point.

BTW - what platform are you running on?  Have you been able to
compile, link, and run all the tests?
