Actually the Bohem GC looks closer.  My original thought up design was
that liboop would create a GC thread that would then have a linked list
to all objects dynamically allocated.  Then it would at certain
intervals cycle through the list and free objects that were not
referenced. 

But how does it know that a chunk of memory is no longer referenced?
