bug in autoDrop?

I'm still struggling with an Autodrop problem:

I use dynamic scheduling, and therefore I set Autodrop to 1.
Actions should then be removed from the schedule and dropped once they
have been executed.
However, I found out that the actions ARE removed from the schedule
(the size of the schedule does not increase steadily), but that they are
NOT DROPPED (the object, to which the pointer returned by a scheduled
action refers, still exists after the action has been executed).
This results in a steady increase in the amount of memory used by the program.
>From the manual I understood that Autodrop should actually drop
the scheduled action.

It seems to me that this is a bug, or am I misreading the manual?
(Besides, if I print the value of autodrop after I set it to 1, it returns 0,
what certainly has to be a bug.)
Does someone have a suggestion or comment ?
Thanks
