[CM] s7: garbage collector bug?

[Kjetil Matheussen]

Hi Christos,

I don't know the exact reason why float_arr_gc__free isn't called
immediately in this specific case, although I can think of several,
but since S7 doesn't have a precise garbage collector, you can not
expect unused objects to be freed immediately.
