I've fixed a Kissme GC bug that was causing segfaults with larger heap
size.

Basicly, the GC was not paying attention to a static field's type
when deciding whether or not to mark it.  Instead, it was just testing
it against the lower and upper addresses of the handle spaces.  The
chance of a scalar having the same bit value as an OBREF increases in
proportion with the handle space size.  The latter is (by default)
proportional to the heap size.
