Thanks for finding it, Tomeu!

I could reproduce it. It has already been fixed a few weeks ago in my
local branch. I need to push it ASAP, I know, I know, I know; please
wait a few more days ;-)

I experienced other problems with the GC and boxed wrappers, and IIRC,
it was caused by the way those wrappers are allocated and initialized.

Normally, in the invoke method, the newly-created boxed wrapper's
reference count wouldn't need to be incremented (IIRC, again; I haven't
had time to look at the code, sorry).

Cheers,
