 I put in a temporary fix which allowed me to run Archie's testcase
that blew up before.

I don't like it because it relies on markAddress.
A better alternative would be to use a bitmap for static fields to find
the fields that need marking.

We should also put a
#if defined(DEBUG)
        assert(gc_heap_isobject())
#endif
in gcMarkObject to find these problems quicker.
