Maybe. One hint. I found that if a String column of Gtk_List_Store is set
using Set, which ultimately calls some opaque subprogram from GtkAda, that
leads to memory corruption after several rounds. But when the same column
is set using the GValue path, which goes straight to GTK, everything seems
working.

BTW, it is not solely the pool, the problem manifests itself as the call
stack being destroyed.
