  Log:
  The finalizer for a ForeignPtr created with mallocForeignPtr better
  "touch#" the MutableByteArray# after running the other finalizers,
  otherwise the memory might be garbage collected before we've finished
  running the finalizers.
  
  This can cause crashes if you add any extra finalizers to a ForeignPtr
  created with mallocForeignPtr.
