I don't see how this is counting. I don't see the relationship between bug#24478 and GC. Bug#24640 was a crash but the bug report was not marked as serious.

If we're merely counting GC-related things that broke Emacs, a more-recently-fixed bug related to GC was not reported to bug-gnu-emacs at all; it's something I fixed two days ago in the release branch, which fixed a broken build with the Oracle Developer Studio C compiler.

On the other hand, if we're talking about truly major bugs detected by GC, then Emacs currently doesn't work on FreeBSD 11 arm64 due to GC-related problems that Daniel's patches would fix. This is Bug#24892, marked as serious, and it pretty clearly outranks all the other bugs mentioned in this thread.
