You'll only get one GC.  Or at least that's the theory: I remember seeing cases 
where one GC caused a finalizer to be created, which in turn triggered another 
idle GC (because the heap had changed), which in turn created a new finalizer, 
and so on.  If you see something like this, we should investigate.
