+After a nice debug session with gdb I think I know what is going on.  The problem 
+centers on the run_finalize method in metadata/gc.c 
+ 
+Basically in the course of execution the GC is run to free up resources and this 
+results in a cyclic loop ad infinitum, because the GC does not have enough 
+resources to run the finalization code.  So it attempts to free up resources to run 
+the finalization code, but it doesn't have enough resources to run ... so it attempts 
+to free up resources ... but it doesn't have enough ... You get the picture ;)
