GC doesn't collect where expected

I'm doing some experiments with ldc2 GC, by instrumenting it and
printing basic information (what is allocated and freed)
My first tests are made on this sample :
```
>> cat test2.d
import core.memory;
class Bar { int bar; }
class Foo {
this()
{
this.bar = new Bar;
}
Bar bar;
}
void func()
{
Foo f2 = new Foo;
}
int main()
{
Foo f = new Foo;
func();
GC.collect();
return 0;
}
```
When trying to run the instrumented druntime, I get a strange
behavior : the first collection (done with GC.collect) doesn't
sweep anything (in particular, it doesn't sweep memory allocated
in _func()_). The whole sweeping is done when program finish, at
cleanup. I don't understand why : memory allocated in _func()_
shouldn't be accessible from any root at first collection, right ?
```
