I'm quite sure that this is a different problem.  The original abort
was in ralloc.c, and it was not during GC.  This one seems like some
GC bug.

I've seen the abort in ralloc.c as well, and I'm currently testing a
provisional fix.

If you can follow the advice in etc/DEBUG and try to find out which
data structure caused the abort in GC, that would add valuable
information.

Thanks.
