Subj : GCF_FINAL Assert

Hi everybody, I'm running a  applicaction with todays ( sunday ) cvs
checkout of spidermonley. I compiled it with debug and I'm geting the
following assert:

Assertion failure: flags != GCF_FINAL, at jsgc.c:836

To avoid the crash of my application I commented out the abort() of
js_assert and added some minor modification in the function
js_MarkGCThing:

    if (flags & GCF_MARK)
        return;
    else if( flags == GCF_FINAL )
    {
        return;
    }


Now I still get the assert message, but my application  do not crash.
Before the change it only kept running for two hours, now it is
allready 10 hours running. My test application is a infinite loop,
which execute everytime the same secuence of javascript commands on a
context. After each loop I force a GC.


Can anybody give me some advice about this changes, or maybe any hint
about where could be my bug?



Best regards.
