Maybe we should have it run automatically under some circumstances. Say, every few GCs, or when space gets low.

It seems the only caller is gc-clean. A surprising number of things
hang around until secondary gc daemons are... summoned?

I haven't been able to do a complete test run on 32-bit systems for a
while. If I run `make check', it consistently runs out of memory
trying to compile test-floenv.scm or test-flonum.scm. However, if I
just compile the file in a fresh Scheme, it works fine, so
(a) there's probably some memory leak in the test suite, and
(b) there's probably some excessive compiler data structures.
I tried the attached string of patches to work around this, and it
worked to get test-floenv.scm compiling, and it made some progress
through test-flonum.scm, but it still runs out of memory partway
through.
This is not a very high priority so I'm not going to spend much more
time on it for a while.
