Hi.  I am seeing finalizers fail to execute on recent SVN and I think
it is the result of this change.  I backed out the patch and it works
okay again.

On Version 3.4.10 - SVN rev. 13079 - macosx-unix-gnu-x86
and Version 4.0.0x5 - SVN rev. 13079  - macosx-unix-gnu-x86

#;1> (let ((abc (vector 5))) (set-finalizer! abc (lambda (x) (print
"final"))) (void))
#;2> (gc #t)

On Version 3.3.10 - SVN rev. 11733 - macosx-unix-gnu-x86,
and on 4.0.0x5 rev. 13079 with reversed runtime.c patch:

#;1> (let ((abc (vector 5))) (set-finalizer! abc (lambda (x) (print
"final"))) (void))
#;2> (gc #t)
final                ; right
