[issue41545] gc API requiring matching number of gc.disable - gc.enable calls

If this race condition is a bug in gc, then we should fix that.

If it is a bug in your code, surely you should fix that rather than disable gc.

Either way, I don't think we should complicate the gc iterface by adding a second way to enable and disable the cyclic gc.
