runcollector runcollector

so it still has a reference to the old object.  Which way seems more
sane somehow, but is probably wrong.

I suppose my gripe is more that define_finalizer too many times
creates proc's that are essentially "orphaned" but cannot be
collected, which is basically a memory leak waiting to happen.
