I don't know what to say. Tried both OSX and Ubuntu 64 bit:

=== MacOS ===
Fire fresh Cuis
Install new updates
Evaluate killer
Close the debugger
Save image and quit
Image size is 10.4MB

=== Ubuntu 64 bit ===
Fire fresh Cuis
Install new updates
Evaluate killer
Close the debugger
Save image and quit
Image size is 10.2MB

I did not manually ask for GC. Just closed the debugger and exited.

There must be something we are doing differently.
