    Dear list<br>
    <br>
    I'm using a self-made function for clearing all layers in my map and
    adding a stored set of predefined layers.<br>
    In this routine i call map.removeLayer() for all non-base layers,
    before I add the new layer set.<br>
    <br>
    However, after having removed the layers I get an exception from
    GeoExt.VectorLegend:<br>

    <p>To the inner level this maps down to the function<br>

    </p>
    <p>And by inspection this.layer is undefined.<br>
    </p>
    <p>How can this be?<br>
      Removing the layer with any combination of (one or both)<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; map.removeLayer(layer) and<br>
      &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; layer.destroy()<br>
      gives the same result.<br>
