[Vm-dev] Crash with the new compactor on 64-bit linux

[Levente Uzonyi]

Hi All,

I've been seeing random crashes with the VM having the new compactor. It 
takes anywhere between 5 mintues to a few hours for the crash to happen.
The crash dumps didn't seem to contain relevant information and sometimes 
had no C call stack at all.
So I decided to run the VM with gdb to catch the bug, and got the 
following:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I obviously didn't have any source files at those paths, but the line 
numbers may still be of help.
The VM was cog_linux64x64_squeak.cog.spur_201702211732 from Travis with 
the plugins copied over from some previous version, because, as I 
mentioned it in another mail, newer builds come with no plugins at all.
