Comment (by megane):

 The implication of this is that a program will have a greater than zero
 change of hanging with the gc-loop if these conditions are met:

 - The program uses threads
 - The program has a finalizer that has been compiled without `disable-
 interrupts`
 - There is a `(gc #t)` call after a finalizer has been installed
