Segfault when exiting due to Fiddle::MemoryView

[xtkoba]

The following script causes a segfault when exiting:

$workaround = false

require 'fiddle'

Fiddle::MemoryView.new(Fiddle::Pointer["foo"])

GC.start if $workaround

A backtrace from GDB:

Invoking a GC before exiting seems to be a workaround.

[mrkn]

I guess this SEGV is a bug of rb_memory_view_release.

I think that this isn't avoidable without improving Ruby's GC on exit but I' reopen this to wait @mrkn's investigation.

#80 can be used instead of GC.start.
