Steve's summary of the bug:

Daniel looked at this further and thinks he made have found a problem with MMTk.   The problem is with a nursery collection occurring, an large object being promoted into the mature space, and not being able to fit.   What should happen is that a full heap GC is triggered, but it is not.
