 It seems none of the Foo's would EVER be deallocated, which could be 
 a problem. Am going to play around w/ this some more later.

+This is in fact caused by a reference to the 'foofoo' array in the
+'blah' stack frame. If you put the allocation/free code in a separate
+function, and call that function from 'blah', all the array elements
+are freed. So the GC works correctly.
