They are all of the same kind we saw before:

  #4  0x010431b7 in die (msg=0x1537030 "assertion failed: 
buffer->base_buffer->indirections > 0", file=0x1535810 "buffer.c",
      line=1664) at alloc.c:6398
  #5  0x010ac068 in compact_buffer (buffer=0x5868c00) at buffer.c:1664
  #6  0x0103fde2 in Fgarbage_collect () at alloc.c:5085

I think we have enough of this evidence.  When the next snapshot or
pretest comes out, please try that, I think this problem is already
fixed.

I think the only other interesting case is the hangs you experience,
so let's concentrate on that.

Thanks.
