[rvm-research] Regarding Exception thrown in RefCount Implementation.

Hi

I have allocated a Header word along with 8 header bits in the reference
count garbage collector implementation. I didn't use that header word
allocated except it is allocated for each object. But when I run the
implementation I end up with exceptions. It would be great help if someone
summarizes the reason for this exception.
Exception in thread "MainThread": JikesRVM: internal error: recursive use
of hardware exception registers (exiting)
