[kaffe] Assertion failure in gc-incremental.c

[Wolfgang Baer]

Hi,

with the new upload of PRECVS8 to debian unstable I get in some
packages the following assertion failure during compilation.

compile:
kaffe-bin:
/build/buildd/kaffe-1.1.4.PRECVS8/build-tree/kaffe-1.1.4.PRECVS8/ \
kaffe/kaffevm/kaffe-gc/gc-incremental.c:1305: gcFree: Assertion
`!!!"Attempt to explicitly free nonfixed object"' failed.

Killed

This affects some packages - in my case rhino and jcifs - but there
it is reproducible every time. Also other people have seen that
failure - see Debian BUG report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295014

The packages build fine with the PRECVS6 version ATM in debian sarge.

If you need any further information please cc me - as I am not
subscribed - I just read the archives randomly.


Regards,

Wolfgang
