You said it - "unless". That's why I asked about a working GC for an OS. I've

Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe the sweat from your thighs
Don't cry to me with sentiment, my laughter drowns your cries
You're a memory trapped on polaroid, a puppet drawn on celluloid
So drink the wine, confess your sin, just floatsam in a silent mind!
