Runtimes that do garbage collection (not just Smalltalk, also Java, 
JavaScript, DotNet, etc) will run GC when they detect some condition 
that triggers it. At least in Smalltalk you can ask for GC when desired. 
Not sure about the others.

The behavior of these systems is well documented elsewhere. There's 
plenty of literature out there.

HTH,
