patch 8.1.0868: crash if triggering garbage collector after a function call commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/889da2f2438c8168f9a25dc776360b81109bad44 Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org> Date: Sat Feb 2 14:02:30 2019 +0100 patch 8.1.0868: crash if triggering garbage collector after a function call Problem: Crash if triggering garbage collector after a function call. (Michael Henry) Solution: Don't call the garbage collector right away, do it later. (closes #3894)

" This test is in a separate file, because it usually causes reports for memory
" leaks under valgrind.  That is because when fork/exec fails memory is not
" freed.  Since the process exists right away it's not a real leak.
