Memory leak, how to find it?

Obviously there's something wrong with the gc threshold algorithm. It'd be helpful if you periodically (once every ten minutes or something) could log the gc status returned by _gc_status.

Ok, this is interesting - it seems like do_gc (Pike 7.2) is called about once a every 70-90 seconds on this box. That's VERY often and very bad since it takes quite a long time (1.5 GB worth of data to iterate through).

I had previously disabled gc manually and will do so again, but does anyone have any idea why it's called so often (I added breakpoint to both do_gc and f_gc and only do_gc was called so it's not done manually).
