I figured out the solution to my problem; I broke my work loop into a
routine which converted one page, then set a timer which called the
work loop again to convert the next page, etc..
This approach allowed the main run loop to run interleaved with the
work loop, so garbage collection and menu items work properly.

I've got a program to convert PDFs to Jpegs formatted for the Sony
PSP (http://pdf2psp.sourceforge.net) that's got a nasty memory
problem - when processing a large pdf it becomes huge (over a
gigabyte!) - but when processing is finished it shrinks back to a
svelte 2 megs.
Malloc debugger says I'm not leaking - but obviously I need to
periodically force a garbage collection loop. Is there some way to
force garbage collection to occur?
Can I spawn a secondary thread to do garbage collection?
