Plug something like


1000 timesRepeat: [128 asCharacter asString: 'GB18030']!


or 'UTF-8' or whatever.  Watch I18N.Encoders.Iconv instanceCount, which
implies they aren't getting collected, although they appear to be
finalized and removed from the finalizableObjects set, including being
wiped out from the indexed instvars.

But they are not removed from ObjectMemory's dependents.  Though, making
every such instance a dependent of ObjectMemory is pretty dumb anyway.
Fixed in the attached patch.
