A plea from Rakudo-land

   . . .

   I used mem_allocate_zeroed_typed in r39881, and fixed this second
   segfault in r39882. I no longer see any GC-related bugs in the rakudo
   spectest suite. Until a new one is found, I'm declaring "Mission
   Accomplished!".

Then get ready:  I have a similar challenge for you.  ;-}

   I've been seeing a failure since December that still fails in r39884,
appears to be a memory corruption issue, and requires a huge test case
to reproduce, because it is extremely sensitive to small changes in
either Parrot or the test case itself.  See TT#39 [1] for a writeup, and
be sure to get the updated version of the test case [2] from my Web
site.

   And thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.
