Program Description
This subfunction releases a VLA-Object from memory via plentiful error trapping.
The supplied VLA-Object argument is checked for a non-nil value and whether it indeed points to data of a VLA-Object type. Furthermore, should these preliminary checks be validated, the VLA-Object is checked as to whether it has already been released, and, should this be passed, the operation to release the object itself is wrapped in a function to catch any exceptions which may arise.
