I "fixed" this.  Guile itself no longer registers GC-controlled
mallocations, as since 2.0 it is no longer necessary (nor advised) to
call scm_gc_free, so you don't get the pairing that you need to track
numbers of live objects.

We should probably remove the debug-malloc code entirely, given that it
doesn't map well to the current API.

Redirecting to bug-guile to create a new ticket.
