Can you (or anybody else who experiences this) look around in
make_float to see why it crashed ?
If I got the line numbers right, it seems that float_free_list
is non-NULL but is pointing to an invalid address.  Is that
the case ?  What's the value of float_free_list ?
Could the bug be due to a problem during dump ?
Any relation to the freezedry_regions thing that was just fixed today ?
