I'm sorry to say that, but no GC bugs have gone, nor have any more been
fixed. As a DOD run isn't triggered at a reproducable execution point,
minimal changes to Parrot core can have the effect to hide or expose GC
bugs.

In fact, I've 10 failing tcl tests here[1], none with -G.

Run individual test files with -t --gc-debug and you again see some
errors.
