Scryer Prolog is an especially curious Prolog system, it even doesn't have garbage collection at all, and you can let it crash by filling the memory with garbage. I guess they don't know how to read a paper, like for example this paper: [3] Carlson, M. et al. (1988): Garbage collection for Prolog based on WAM. Communications of the ACM 31, 6, 719–740, June 1988 http://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/62959.62968 Which even has nice pictures, that help you understand the issues and algorithmic suggestions.
