We already run all finalizers after exitScheduler:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/rts/RtsStartup.c#L382-L388
so no need to run GC for that.

Hi,
I'm wondering why we run GC in this line:
https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/rts/Schedule.c#L2670
I went back in commit history using git blame and found the commit that
introduced that line (5638488ba28), but it didn't help. Does anyone know why we
need that line?
Thanks,
Ömer
