743 *
744 * To overcome this problem, if cell access debugging with additional
745 * garbage collections is enabled, the after-gc-hook is never run by the
746 * garbage collecter. When running guile with cell access debugging and the
747 * execution of the after-gc-hook is desired, then it is necessary to run
748 * the hook explicitly from the user code. This has the effect, that from
749 * the scheme level point of view it seems that garbage collection is
750 * performed with a much lower frequency than it actually is. Obviously,
751 * this will not work for code that depends on a fixed one to one
752 * relationship between the execution counts of the C level garbage
753 * collection hooks and the execution count of the scheme level
754 * after-gc-hook.
