I don't see how it could be explained by the GC. Here is what is going on in
the profiling C code. It charges time to `unknown' iff the program counter
is pointing at a location which is not in the code loaded from the
executable. This means it is in some code in shared libraries (or
dynamically generated code, which we don't have). I might goose prof.c to
keep track of where it is to see if I can trace it down.
