So, it crashed right away.

Actually, looking again at the initial SIGSEGV, it's probably not a
valid place for a write barrier after all. (I misread the stack trace,
which on first glance looked like the usual place in a hashing function
where the first write barrier is often hit.)

Yes, that's a good idea. Now that you suggest it, I remember that
Andrew Reilly tracked down and fixed a 64-bit GC bug a few weeks ago.
