Probably. The purpose of "step" is to actually do some collection,
not to adjust the counter. And its "size" means nothing:

  * LUA_GCSTEP-- performs an incremental step of garbage collection.
  The step size is controlled by data (larger values mean more steps) in
  a non-specified way.  If you want to control the step size you must
  tune experimentally the value of data.
