Thanks for fixing the bug.  I wonder if it would make sense to have a
simple test for this particular use case, as this seems to be quite a
popular technique these days in users' init files.  The test would do
the sequence of GC settings like the one which triggered this bug, and
then verify that GC happens after it when expected.

WDYT?
