But seriously, I assume your conclusion is not correct. I myself am still surprised by that behaviour, and I think it may be a trap for many beginners. But I think the special case of my code is, that the array contains strings, and that strings are watched by the GC. My code was only intended for initial testing, generally I would tend to avoid such large objects on the stack, primary to avoid stack overflows. And I have to admit that I do not understand currently why the seq is no problem for the GC, as it also contains all the strings.
