Comment(by danielk):

 (In [14098]) Refs #2287. Creates and destroyes the memory allocator needed
 by Cocoa.

 The OS X Cocoa libraries assume that you have a garbage collector
 allocated and will leak memory if you don't. However it needs a specific
 garbage collector for each thread which creates some complications. This
 creates and destroyes the garbage collector needed to handle DVDV stuff.

 We really should allocate a garbage collector for each thread in MythTV on
 the OS X platform, but this addresses the only major memory leak this
 Cocoa requirement appears to cause. And addresses all the additional
 memory leaks DVDV could have added to the mix.
