You aren't doing anything wrong. David is away on business.

The one thing I would hesitate with about your patch is that you've now
broken the existing behavior of the thread in regards to SIGHUP. You
used to be able to send the threads a SIGHUP and it would do a single
pass. With your patch, it won't do that unless the thresholds are
right. Being able to send SIGHUP to force a GC pass is a pretty useful
thing for debugging, etc.
