Having worked for a real-time OS vendor in the past, you've managed to
tickle a bugbear of mine :)  Real-time garbage collection has been
proved to be impossible without either content-addressable memory
(expensive and slow), or infinite memory.

Of course, you can arrange for things such that it won't cause problems
most of the time, but that's not the same thing :)
