Perhaps it's a different leak. The bug I just found (and posted a patch
for) involves GC becoming less and less frequent (on the average) as
soon as memory allocation exceeds the threshold where gc-cons-percentage
would start to matter, or ~20Mb, whichever is larger.

I've not been running with this patch for long, but preliminary checks
indicate that leak rates are down to those I'd associate with 21.4.x.
