Description
We should have a way to lock the garbage collector globally - motivated by #643 not being fully fixed by removal of thread_local storage. Need to remind myself of the full context here.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by reading issue #643 and the context around the previous removal of thread_local storage, then locate the garbage collector implementation and its existing synchronization path. Done means defining and implementing a global GC lock that addresses the remaining problem described there.
