[gambit-list] Memory leak (?) using `c-define`d functions from foreign release functions.

Valgrind reports Gambit is leaking a "sfun stack marker" if I call, from a
foreign release function, another function defined with `c-define`.  The
code below is about the most innocent looking thing I could come up with.

Doesn't Gambit like c-define functions called within release functions, or
is Valgrind giving me a false positive here (as it is wont to do quite
often.)

; ~/gambit-dbg/bin/gsc -exe -cc-options -g test-c-define.scm && valgrind
--leak-check=full ./test-c-define

(c-declare #<<c-declare-end

typedef struct { int x; int y; } point;

void scm_release_point(unsigned long);

___SCMOBJ c_release_point(void *ptr) {
    scm_release_point((unsigned long)ptr);
    ___EXT(___release_rc)(ptr);
    return ___FIX(___NO_ERR);
}

c-declare-end
)

(c-define (release-point ptr) (unsigned-long) void "scm_release_point" ""
  (println "release-point called"))

(c-define-type point (pointer "point" (point*) "c_release_point"))

(define p ((c-lambda () point
                 "___result_voidstar =
___EXT(___alloc_rc)(sizeof(point));")))

(println "p is " p)
(set! p #f)

(##gc)
; for good measure...
(##gc)
(##gc)

(println "Bye.")
