It's just as "theoretical" as any other GC bug.  That is to say,
not theoretical at all.  You should be able to make such a test
case fail by using "--enable-checking=gcac".

Given the massive simplifiction of varasm.c that would result from
getting rid of the constant descriptors, I'd support cleaning that
out now and not waiting for 3.2.
