GC dead-locking ?

Here is an excerpt from a stack trace I got while profiling
with OProfile:

#0  sem_wait () from /lib64/libpthread.so.0
#1  thread_suspendAll () at core/thread.d:2471
#2  gc.gcx.Gcx.fullcollect() (this=...) at gc/gcx.d:2427
#3  gc.gcx.Gcx.bigAlloc() (this=..., size=16401, poolPtr=0x7fc3d4bfe3c8, alloc_size=0x7fc3d4bfe418) at gc/gcx.d:2099
#4  gc.gcx.GC.mallocNoSync (alloc_size=0x7fc3d4bfe418, bits=10, size=16401, this=...) gc/gcx.d:503
#5  gc.gcx.GC.malloc() (this=..., size=16401, bits=10, alloc_size=0x7fc3d4bfe418) gc/gcx.d:421
#6  gc.gc.gc_qalloc (ba=10, sz=<optimized out>) gc/gc.d:203
#7  gc_qalloc (sz=<optimized out>, ba=10) gc/gc.d:198
#8  _d_newarrayT (ti=..., length=4096) rt/lifetime.d:807
#9  sequencer.algorithm.gzip.HuffmanTree.__T6__ctorTG32hZ.__ctor() (this=..., bitLengths=...) sequencer/algorithm/gzip.d:444

Two more threads are alive, but waiting on a condition
variable (i.e.: in pthread_cond_wait(), but from my own and
not from druntime code. Is there some obvious way I could have
dead-locked the GC ? Or is there a bug ?

This was compiled with GDC using DMD FE 2.062.
