Lemme try to explain again and try and make more sense.

PHP tracks the number of references to a variable, when there are no 
more references it can safely be destroyed by the Zend engine.  So the 
count should be at 2. One for the instance you grab in the main script 
and another for the static reference inside the class definition.  You 
need to run two unsets(one inside the class, and one outside the class) 
to make that variables reference count == 0.
