- If the `Garbage collecting...' message appears while editing something
- in the minibuffer, the prompt is obscured. Many times, though, the
- prompt is not restored and the user is left thinking that maybe gc
- hasn't finished yet. Pressing editing keys, especially recenter,
- restores the prompt and editing in the minibuffer can continue. If the
- user ignores the gc message and keeps typing blindly, it seems to
- restore itself.
