GC requires sleeping

If the main thread does not sleep or block for a long enough period the GC does
not collect anything. I saw this with a GUI app which has a test mode which
simulates a user at the keyboard. When the test runs garbage is not collected,
but it is collected when a real user is at the keyboard.

I've attached a small test case. It simply allocates a bunch of objects in a
tight loop which are only collected if the main thread sleeps for a significant
period.
