An Example of forced GC gone bad?

Viewed 183

I'm doing an intro presentation on the .Net CLR GC and have all the various pieces, but I wanted an example specifically of how trying to force collection could be dangerous or harmful. I know you can force things into higher generations prematurely, but (from what I could tell) that would really only slow things down.

I'm trying to think of a situation where forcing GC could be truly damaging and I keep coming up w/ merely less efficient solutions.
