Not quite.  There is local garbage collection; but the memory space
currently never gets freed when the context exits, so the effect is
similar (except with long-running clients, which gc the local memory
space multiple times).

I know how to fix the above, but there's something I need to solve
before I start introducing more changes to the memory management:
there's a memory corruption bug, not related to GC and first exhibited
thanks to GNUstep, which will make the X server crash randomly.  I've
been stuck on that for a long time...
