[Pkg-gnu-smalltalk-devel] Bug#477312: Log for failed build of gnu-smalltalk_3.1~rc3-3 (dist=experimental)

[Paolo Bonzini]

It's a dangling pointer that for no reason should show up rarely, and
for no reason should show up only on ia64, but it does.

Anyway the attached patch, which I'll commit upstream after some more
testing, fixes it.  The idea is that a nomemory hook is now able to
divert the allocation to another memory arena.

Here is a more reduced testcase for fun:

ObjectMemory compact.
