I'm betting that it's the !PObj_on_free_list_TEST(s) bit of the 
assertion that failed, and my guess is also that it's related to the 
Perl 6 GC failures I posted about yesterday, which cause most of the 
Perl 6 test suite to fail on Win32. Is it just the one that fails on 
FreeBSD like this?

Thanks,
