kaffe 0.9.2: failed assertion in gc-mem.c (NextStep 3.3, m68k)

[Rick Innis]

I've successfully (?) compiled kaffe 0.92 under NeXTStep 3.3 (m68k). 

Unfortunately on trying to run it I get the following error:

banana-jr% kaffe Test
gc-mem.c:175: failed assertion `(uintp)mem >= (uintp)blk &&  
(uintp)mem < (uintp)blk + gc_pgsize'

I've delved into the debugger and mem is a null pointer (0x0) when  
this happens.

If anyone suggest why this might be happening I'd be extremely  
grateful. (Any kaffe internals documentation out there?)

FYI, here's some details on how I compiled it:
- static libraries and interpreter only (/configure  
--enable-staticlib --with-engine=intrp)
- compiler: gcc 2.7.2.2.f.2
- make: GNU Make version 3.76.1
- I had to remove the -all_load flag from CFLAGS; it was causing a  
link error which I couldn't be bothered tracking down (multiply  
defined entries; there seems to be a clash between the system  
libraries and the gcc ones.)
- hand-linked packages/tjwassoc.co.uk/API*/lib/lib*.a.0.92 ->  
libkaffe_*.a (make linked them to lib*.a, but the build process  
wanted libkaffe_*.a)

Also attached is the stack trace from gdb, if that's of any use to  
anyone.
