Here I go again:
I am getting the following assertion failure upon executing
kaffe on my Linux/Alpha box.
Kaffe: mem/gc-mem.c:315: gc_heap_malloc: Assertion `blk->free != 0' failed.
I found that this is caused due to the value of freelist[3]->list->free->next
being set to NULL. I placed a watchpoint and found that this is occurring
while loading the base class java/lang/Character in initBaseClasses(). Here is
the stack trace.

As I am a newbie in Kaffe land, can someone explain the gaps in my following
understanding of the flow of control?
The KREALLOC at line 1876 in classMethod.c is trying to reallocate
iface->implementors array of shorts to a size of 20. Down in gcRealloc(),
gcRealloc() is called (line 1025) and the original memory pointed to by mem
(which is iface->implementors of the clazz in computeInterfaceImplementationIndex)
is copied to newmem. What baffles me is the reason for this memcpy
setting freelist[3]->list->free->next to NULL. Is this what it should do?
If so I suspect some other book-keeping stuff in freelist[3] is not correctly
updated. freelist[3]->list right after memcpy is as follows:
(gdb) p *freelist[3]->list
$25 = {
magic = 0,
free = 0x120205e20,
next = 0x0,
nfree = 0x0,
inuse = 1,
size = 40,
nr = 194,

}
and
(gdb) p *freelist[3]->list->free
$28 = {
next = 0x0
}
Any clues? Am I barking up the right tree?
Thanks,
