The assertion failure simply says that a seg fault occurred while we're
in a critical section where ints are disabled.
Instead of ignoring that and pretending that we could map this to a
nullpointer exception, (which wouldn't make any sense), I decided that
we should just bail in this case.
The underlying reason, of course, is the memory corruption that the
collector hit. You should try -vmdebug GCDIAG.
