These are the only two times I've seen it fail so far.  I'm having a real
problem making it fail.  I'm still trying to improve my torture to make it
fail more often.  I assume it fails often for you.

Meanwhile, I'm going to add some options to make it easy for you to run some
tests for me.  For example, you will be able to run Prothon with the garbage
collector turned off as a test.  I should have something for you to run in
an hour or two.

Sorry for the trouble....
