This seems to make sense, yes.  Since the "leaked" objects that are
found will be released by the GC code, I see no point in reporting
these during the regression test.  This can only confuse people (like
it did Jeremy :-).

Any form of evilness that can be detected without *too* much effort is
worth it...  I have no idea what kind of evil we're looking for here
or how to detect is, so I can't answer yes or no.
