I can't find that.  I find trigger-secondary-gc-daemons! is called
only in gc-clean, which is called only in runtime/make.scm and
disk-save.

Speaking from experience, I have run Scheme for days, GCing huundreds
of times, and watched my free space wane, until I trigger-secondary-
gc-daemons! by hand (now, in a thread that counts GCs).

What did I miss?  Or is the criteria, #f, what you thought was silly?
