it's a bad sign that you have to say "probably".

you are more than welcome to ask questions here so that we can help
you understand precisely what your GC-related problem is, and so that
we'll be able to add/clarify the documentation accordingly if
appropriate.

but anyway, if you want to disable GC do this:

++scm_block_gc;
<your sensitive code>;
--scm_block_gc;
