[Vm-beginners] Objective-C Bridge Memory Management

How does Obj-C garbage collection map to Squeak?

For example:
* When an Obj-C object is garbage collected in Squeak, is the release
propagated back to Obj-C (does it even have to be)?
* Is it safe to autorelease objects? What is the "event loop" of obj-c code
called from Squeak?
* If objects become zombies, how long do they hang around? Are they finally
destroyed when I quit the image?

Thanks.
