I'm not surprised :-)  Currently, remove_global_root is implemented by
linear search in a singly-linked list...

I believe you're the first to really stress-test remove_global_root;
most OCaml applications just register a dozen external roots and never
remove them.

I'll improve the implementation when I find some free time.
