Note that, in general, for vanilla 5.1, you should call
collectgarbage("collect") in a loop until collectgarbage("count")
result wouldn't stop decreasing. Only then you may say that everything
collectable is collected.

That being said, this issue apparently does not affect your case, I've
just checked, and I can reproduce your results even with GC in a loop.
