The straightforward implementation below has the problem
that it might call the GC twice, once in scm_malloc and then
again in scm_gc_register_collectable_memory. We don't really
want the second GC since it will not find new garbage.
Note: this is a theoretical peeve. In reality, malloc () never
returns NULL. Usually, memory is overcommitted, and when you try
to write it the program is killed with signal 11. --hwn
