When the GC seems to be involved what it typically means that there's
a memory corruption somewhere.  The only reason why the GC gets involved is
because the GC traverses all your memory, so it basically does (as a side
effect) some kind of sanity check, so memory corruption is usually detected
during GC.  GC bugs exist as well, of course, but they're pretty rare (or
rather they tend to manifest pretty often, so they get fixed fairly quikly).
