For discovering incorrectly retained GCed objects, I used this patch,
which adds a `garbage-collect-dump' function:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-09/msg00951.html>
However, the leak in question was a native memory allocation, so I had
to use a different kind of allocation tracking:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2004-09/msg00983.html>
It probably won't work on current systems due to frame pointer
omission.
