[Haskell-cafe] System.Mem.performGC leaks?

main = forever performGC

The OS reported memory usage skyrockets. If i enable +RTS -S the GC 
statistics show the heap "live bytes" being constant.


Is it accumulating statistics even when profiling is disabled (and can 
you turn that off), or is there something going on with the FFI call to 
performGC.

Compiled with "ghc -O2 -fvia-C -optc-O2 -funbox-strict-fields -threaded" 
btw.
