It seems it was some complication when switching from 6.8 to 6.10. I
didn't clean up properly.
Links now, but I'm still getting the crash in the garbage collector. :-(
Perhaps try reducing the example until the problem goes away, so we can see 
at which stage it gets introduced?  Or can you boil down your example to 
something we can reproduce?
