You must ensure that the old block is destroyed.

In order to do this, you must of course drop all references to it within your 
program, but you must also remove it from the GR flow graph and, if the graph 
is running, _unlock() the graph_ before creating the new block.

But:

Instead of recreating the source, why not recreate the connection to the server 
and keep the source?
