My guess is that the lambda is keeping the scope of the new invocation
around, which includes a reference to the newly created array.

Would it be a better test not to use Array (instances of which seems
to be created also by ObjectSpace / YAML)? Ex:

   class Foo ; end
   7.times {
     GC.start
     count = ObjectSpace.each_object(Foo)
     p "Count: #{count}"
     Foo.new
   }
