[Glass] GC and how to make it successful in the first run ...

[James Foster]

Hi Marten,

When you do "SystemRepository markForCollection” what do you get back? It should tell you how many objects it found as possibly dead. Is there anything interesting in any of the GcGem logs (admin or reclaim)? Do you have other sessions logged in? How long have they been logged in?
