Collection was modified Exception on AnonymizationQueue.Anonymize(dcmFile)

My function is pretty similar to the example from the wiki.
Wiki - Anonymization Operations

    private static void Anonymize(string source, string name = "Sanitized", string id = "99999")
    {

        var toAnonymize = Directory.GetFiles(source);

        var settings = AnonymizationSettings.Default;

        //Change mapping but keep connections
        settings.DoAnonymizeUIDs = false;
        settings.FirstName = name;
        settings.LastName = " ";
        settings.Id = id;

        //Gets a current list of UIDs so it can create new ones 
        var queue = EvilDICOM.Anonymization.AnonymizationQueue.BuildQueue(settings, toAnonymize);

        for (int i = 0; i < toAnonymize.Length; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Anonymizing {0}", toAnonymize[i]);
            var dcm = DICOMObject.Read(toAnonymize[i]);
            queue.Anonymize(dcm);
            //Write back to initial location - though this can be a different place
            dcm.Write(toAnonymize[i]);
        }
    }

When I now execute the function it throws the following execption on queue.Anonymize(dcm);

Unhandled exception. System.InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

Hi, no unfortunately not. Did change the method to manually set the tags

I found the problem (for me anyway) and fixed it (I think) by updating EvilDICOM\Anonymization\Anonymizers\PrivateTagAnonymizer.cs as follows:

` //customized - fixed
//foreach (var priv in d.AllElements.Where(e => e.Tag.IsPrivate()))
// d.Remove(priv.Tag);
d.AllElements.RemoveAll(x => x.Tag.IsPrivate());``

Sorry, I do not have time to contribute with pull request etc.
