That's not enough evidence to show that the garbage collection was
looping. There could be some higher level loop that does a lot of
allocation, so that if you stop at some random point you would have a
high probability of stopping in the alloc.c. If you catch this in gdb
again, try running the 'finish' a few times to see if it can leave the
alloc.c code.
