Off the top of my head, I see two possibilities:
  o  Make the global object an access type. Have Set_Container_Size
deallocte the old one (if its not null), and allocate a new one of the
correct size.
  o  Wrap your global container matrix in a variant record (with
defaults for the index lengths).
