 Probably because in rb_source_init() we retain ourselves...

 Removing the GC_RETAIN() call fixes the fact that Source objects were
 never finalized, but it  causes a segfault in the following reduction:

 {{{
 ./miniruby -e "q=Dispatch::Queue.new('local'); loop { 10.times {
 Dispatch::Source.timer(0, 0, 0, q) {} }; GC.start }"
 }}}
