This assertion happens multiple times.
It might also happen on other tests (builds): I didn't check.

I didn't copy the stack, because I don't know what is interesting in it wrt this assertion...

We need to at the very least understand what this means before we ship.

Comment 3

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Blake, can you have a look at this one?

Comment 4

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

This will be fixed as part of mrbkap's inner/outer window splitting work that he's doing for compartmental gc, which won't make it for beta5, moving to beta6.

Comment 5

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Can we get a bug reference to the inner/outer window splitting work which will be the fix for this?

Comment 6

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

I suspect this depends on bug 558861 or something like that?

Comment 7

[Blake Kaplan (:mrbkap) (inactive)]

This assertion went away with compartments.
