garbage collection run amok again in 7.1.1Rc2?

[Ali Lloyd]

I have actually seen this myself once whilst running in debug mode from
source, and I think it was stuck in a 'TryToEvaluate' loop for some reason
- I think it can be stopped by doing Cmd + . although that might not be the
same thing.

Anyway, It's worth filing a bug report if there isn't one already.
