Thanks, good catch.  This is a problem on !USE_LSB_TAG platforms where 
heap memory lives below statically-allocated memory.  That should be 
rare (I don't know of such a platform offhand), but for now the simplest 
fix is to avoid this optimization on !USE_LSB_TAG platforms.  Revised 
patches attached, updated to match the latest master.
