I'm just saying that the existing implementation (which does not have
NOPs for Delete{Local,Global}Ref), doesn't work. While the JNI
spec warns that:
 Note that local references cannot be faithfully implemented by
 conservatively scanning the native stack. The native code may store
 local references into global or heap data structures.
..but if the conservative GC takes the heap into the account, it seems
that should work. Anyway, I just want it not to crash. ;)
