+This is caused by a bug in the Boehm collector:
+
+" I have a problem with GC_gcj_malloc. It calls GC_generic_malloc_inner
+instead of GC_generic_malloc, which means that GC_INVOKE_FINALIZERS
+does not get called. This means that if a program uses gcj_malloc only,
+then finalizers will never get called."
+
+I'm afraid the only workaround is to disable typed allocation, which
+can be done by setting CREATION_SPEEDUP to 1 in metadata/object.c.
