In a way it is a leak. Proxies are never cleaned up because they are cached.This
is to avoid that for each new ControlTask reference, a new proxy
object would need
to be created (which would explode into memory very quickly). The dark
side of this
medal is that the RTT never decides to clean up a ControlTaskProxy. In
principle,
the DestroyOrb function could/should do this, since it also cleans up
the ControlTaskServer
instances...

It is safe to delete a ControlTaskProxy object 'by hand'. In that
case, it is removed from
the cache and will be re-created when necessary.
