[svn-r10053] Purpose: Fix bugzilla #242

Description:
    In the release branch, RefCounter was still used for maintaining
    the reference count and there was a memory leak problem (bug 242)
    which is not a simple fix.

Solution:
    Removed this reference counting approach completely and started
    using the C library's new APIs for that purpose.

Platforms tested:
    Linux 2.4 (heping)
    SunOS 5.8 64-bit (sol)

-///\brief	Resets the id of the passed-in object.

-//  Note:	Some older compilers don't support template member functions; 
-//		so at this time, resetIdComponent is not a member function so 
-//		it can be template to work around that problem.
