So the corrollary: After a restore any pointers from non-gc'd memory to
gc'd memory will be a dangling pointer, if we count static variables 
marked with GTY as "gc'd memory" in this context.

Right now, as far as I can tell, the filenames in the line_table are
allocated from non-gc'd memory.  This complicates using gc.
