[issue26190] GC memory leak using weak and cyclic references

New submission from Maximilian Köhl: In the attached code the object initially bind to `a` is never garbage collected although there are no references left. The finalizer of `b` is executed and the weak reference to it becomes dead however the garbage collector does not free the object itself
