Discovered in nightly mini regression runs. We verified that it fails on
Win32 as well, so it is a platform independent bug.

The following SpecApplication run fails are noticed:

> > _201_compress
> > _205_raytrace
> > _209_db
> > _233_tmix


Example:>
java_g -Xcomp -Xincgc SpecApplication -s100 -a _201_compress

I've just rebuilt the newest win32 VM and tried it there with an
assertion
failure, both for: -Xcomp alone and -Xcomp -Xincgc:

Y:\classes\SPEC\v20pbk>java_g -Xcomp -Xincgc SpecApplication -s100 -a
_201_compr
ess
Speed will be 100
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, assertion failure
#
# assert(Universe::is_heap(obj), "sanity check")
# H:\win32_baseline\src\share\vm\runtime\handles.cpp, 25#

Y:\classes\SPEC\v20pbk>java_g -Xcomp SpecApplication -s100 -a
_201_compress
Speed will be 100
#
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error, assertion failure
#
# assert(Universe::is_heap(obj), "sanity check")
# H:\win32_baseline\src\share\vm\runtime\handles.cpp, 25#
