Sounds like "conservative GC" to me, where the runtime deallocates an 
entire page from the address space if, after scanning all memory, can't 
find a pointer-aligned integer whose value is in the range of addresses 
of that page.

I'd be fascinated to see how this works with pointer arithmetic et all.
