After some testing today I'm pretty sure there's a race condition in
the garbage collector.  I think I have a solution but it's too late
for the details now.  I'll send a patch tomorrow.  (The short version
is that the collector should never deallocate objects which are in the
current transaction.)

Generally, Rucksack is not ready for production-use yet, in case
you've expected that.

Cheers,
Edi.
