I believe this is a GC related but due to some misaligned pointers (the M68K
aligns pointers on 16bit boundaries while Kaffe wants them on 32bit bounaries).
I thought I'd got all the structures correctly setup so this wouldn't
be a problem - but I guess not.  If anyone can find the alignment
problems ....
