Error when loading malformed XML is intermittently not captured

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Create malformed XML, load the malformed XML as part of a sequence of items.
Occasionally the garbage collector will remove the reference to the inline
method defined in BulkLoader to capture Error events and the event bubbles.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

FDT / Flex 3 SDK

Please provide any additional information below.

I can only infer that it's the GC that causes this problem because it's
intermittent, but it makes sense.

I've attached a trivial patch to rememdy the problem. Since I've applied
this patch I've been unable to recreate the issue.
