Details

For like the third time now I have foolishly specified using a FINALIZE_*_BACKGROUND FinalizeKind in shell builds (where !defined(JS_THREADSAFE) and hence there is no background finalization). Instead of asserting, this bug manifests itself in random crashes in GC. Perhaps we could either: 1. catch this bug eagerly with an assert, or 2. make _BACKGROUND finalize kinds work in the shell so that we we could take out these #ifdef JS_THREADSAFEs (e.g., JSFunction and the various ScopeObjects)
