I suspect this must be done in the coding functions.  This call to 
inhibit_garbage_collection was there about two years ago (1.234 removed 
it),
and it is still present in macmenu.c, which is the only reason the mac 
port
works better.  I suspect the w32 port also has this problem, but I can't
test that port.  I'll work a bit more on this, as a temporary solution I
checked in this patch.
