[MAJOR] call garbage collector when doing soft stop
When we're interrupted by another instance, it is very likely
that the other one will need some memory. Now we know how to
free what is not used, so let's do it.
Also only free non-null pointers. Previously, pool_destroy()
did implicitly check for this case which was incidentely
needed.
