I don't think that's the right solution. Won't the same problem
occur with all the other kinds of free list as well? You'd have
to put bounds on all of them.
Seems to me the correct solution is to count allocs/frees from/to
any free list along with memory allocs/frees for the purpose of
deciding when to do a gc.
