See bug 3930 for one observable manifestation of this bug, though I'm filing
this as a separate bug report because it's probably the root cause of a lot of
general weird behavior I've noticed in 2.041.
It seems that, when GC.free() is called on an array now that Steve's LRU patch
is in, the BlkInfo stays in the LRU cache, leading to subtle bugs. The patch
seems to rely on the reference from cache preventing the array from getting
GC'd. This is also bad in that it prevents memory from being reclaimed. A
proper fix would be for the cache to be cleared whenever the GC runs or
GC.free() is called.
