If the `Garbage collecting...' message appears while editing something
in the minibuffer, the prompt is obscured.  Many times, though, the
prompt is not restored and the user is left thinking that maybe gc
hasn't finished yet.  Pressing editing keys, especially recenter,
restores the prompt and editing in the minibuffer can continue.  If the 
user ignores the gc message and keeps typing blindly, it seems to
restore itself.
