Comment #8 on issue 3523 by [email protected]: Deadlock after calling IdleNotification(100) or Dispose on isolate
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3523

Just a final note regarding #6 ("... the only thing I can do: .."): This is *not* the only thing you can do, quite the opposite: The only safe way to get timely deallocation is to design your API on the JavaScript side right. Concretely, in addition to a constructor you need some explicit form of "destructor" for your objects on the JavaScript side.

As an example: If you want to expose e.g. C's FILE* I/O on the JavaScript side, you need some explicit "close" function, too, not only an "open". Relying on the garbage collector to close some file descriptors would be a recipe for trouble, because file descriptors are normally a scarce resource, so you really, really want to close them explicitly as soon as possible.
