This does seem like a bug... if Emacs is using a mark-and-sweep garbage
collector, which I thought it did. But Andreas (in a different bug
report) seemed to imply that Emacs uses a conservative garbage collector
these days, and I see that there's some talk about that in the source
code, but... it's documented to be a mark-and-sweep gc.
So now I'm confused: Is Emacs still using a pure mark-and-sweep gc as
the Emacs Internals section of the elisp manual says?
