That April report looks quite a bit different,
as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with
allocate_vectorlike.

I have verified that if one takes the latest trunk
(bzr 108545), and backs out the recent vector changes
(that is, backs out the changes in bzr 108522 and in
bzr 108520), the bug goes away.  This does not prove
that the bug is due to the vector changes but it is
strongly suggestive.
