Assumin GC doesn't run, nothing can happen.

For me personally, that assumption would be too dangerous. At one point,
Emacs' regexp engine made that assumption, GC did run, because of
something N levels down a call stack, GC compacted strings, and all that
was really nice to debug :-).

My 2 cents :-)
