  Are you sure the compiler is not performing some clever optimization
tricks there like: "Hmm, this code allocates a piece of memory to this
pointer, the pointer demonstrably is not passed to anything anywhere
but is re-assigned a new memory block, thus the allocated memory is
likewise freed at that point, so I'll put a GC flag to this block of
memory to tell the GC engine that it's free."

  I wonder if it makes any difference if the pointer is passed to some
function which the compiler doesn't know what it does at this point.
