Ok, I did this exact procedure.

The only change for this VM over the other ones is that in the 64 bit 
conversion routines it uses instantiateSmallClasssizeInBytesfill 
versus the no-fill allocation that Rob had earlier suggested.

However the VM still crashes in the same manner, using the image you 
posted to the swiki

Now a clue might be how free space is allocated/used or limited or not.

As you pointed out in another note
?
In the bug above it looks like fp is off by two words because method =
longAt(fp-4) = a MethodContext2 instead of a CompiledMethod2.?


I still find it interesting that this object, wrong or not is the 
last object in youngspace before the freeBlock which implies it was 
just allocated. I'll note that we allocate 845,904 bytes of memory 
out of young space before the failure occurs.
