Hummmm. Well, on the one side, it is not really a fatal failure. This
tests allocates 1000 modules, then does a few gc runs, then checks to
make sure they were all collected. Since libgc is a conservative
collector, it is possible that it mistakenly thinks one of those modules
is still alive -- a problem that is more acute on 32-bit systems. It is
also dependent on the compiler you use, the version of libgc, etc.
I think if I were you, I would just ignore this error. I know it's not
a very good answer, but does that work for you?
