This patch appears to put finalized objects onto a queue for later
running, rather than running them from within the GC. Good!

BUT .. it does a GC_NEW() from within the finalizer, which is called
from within the GC.  Therefore the GC is entered recursively.  This is
very very bad and will bite you one day and you won't know why.
