Sure: just make the GC precise, not conservative. ;)
With current GC implementation and array this big chances of 
having a word on the stack that looks like a pointer to it and 
prevents it from being collected are almost 100%. Just don't 
store big arrays in GC heap or switch to 64 bits where the 
problem is not that bad since address space is much larger and 
chances of false pointers are much smaller.
