If you can show where's the text that assumes that, i.e. is not clear
to someone who doesn't have a good knowledge about Emacs memory
management, I'm sure someone will try to improve those parts of the
text.

For the record, that part of etc/DEBUG summarizes what I learned
debugging (with Richard's help) a tricky problem that caused rare
crashes inside GC.  At the time, I knew almost nothing about the GC
machinery.
