+// and their backing data is GCed as expected.
+for (let i = 0; i < 1024; i++) {
+  // Create a 128MB byte array, and then a blob from it.
+  const buf = new Uint8Array(128 * 1024 * 1024);
+  new Blob([buf]);
+  // It is very important that there is a yield here, otherwise the finalizer
+  // for the blob is not called and the memory is not freed.
