Correction: total size of *stray* pointers. This is a very important  
distinction. If you have over 300 MB of stray pointers in your managed  
heap, then it's almost certain that some binary data is being marked as  
having pointers. Common culprits are void[] allocations, and large  
structs/classes that mix pointers and non-pointers.
