I think that those could and maybe even should be cleaned up.

Ah! Yes, you are right! That was the fundamental problem we ran into: 
When we submit the IB tests during GPU reset we can't allocate any memory!

Ok, that needs further investigation. Please go ahead with your plan to 
fix this first and then clean it up later on.
