Losing controlListeners when display is rebuilt

Hi-

I have an application that adds a ControlListerner to the
ProjectionControl of a DisplayImpl.  This display gets
rebuilt when I change my projections or add in ScalarMaps
after some DataReferences are added.  I figured that
as long as there is always one ProjectionControl associated
with a DisplayImpl, that no matter what I did to the display,
my listener would always be active.  However, it appears
that when the display is rebuilt, all display listeners are
removed and are not added back in when the ProjectionControl
is added back (same for GraphicsModeControl and
DisplayRendererControl).  So once the display is rebuilt,
I have no way of using the controlListener to listen for
ProjectionControl changes.  Is this a bug?  I've attached
a program that exhibits this behavior.
