Actually the --heap-size option is only used for the non-Boehm garbage
collectors.  For the Boehm collector, the heap size will be determined
automatically (based on the amount of live data, GC_free_space_divisor).

If you want to explicitly set the maxium heap size with the Boehm collector,
you can do so by calling the C function GC_set_max_heap_size().

Or functions returning bool, for that matter.
