Adding a layer/Removing a layer - C#

Can anyone point me to an example of using MapScript C# that:

a) Loads a map
b) Adds 2 or 3 *dynamic* layers, classes, and styles
c) Disposes of the map and associated layers properly.

I've got an example working here - but when more than 1 layerObj is 
created and added to the map, I get a bunch of 
mapscriptPINVOKE.delete_classObj or .delete_layerObj errors.  Obviously, 
things are happening in the SWIG interface - like disposing of objects - 
but it doesn't appear to be working properly.

I've attached some sample C# code - perhaps someone can immediately 
identify my error...
