This is the information I sent to John Bowman, who wrote back that he had hoped issues with the garbage collector were fixed and he could update, but perhaps not. Then he gave me a flag to revert to the earlier Boehm version and these errors did not occur.

I believe that part of my message was too hidden:
- MacPorts uses version 8.0.4 (and it works)
- when I compiled the version from TL (outside of macports) against
8.0.4 on 10.6, it worked
- release notes for 8.0.4 explicitly claim to have fixed issues on Mac
- note that this version is NEWER than the one you failed to compile
with; you had issues with 8.0.2 (I didn't even try that one)

Can you try to switch to a newer version instead of the older one?
