Did you use the --with-gc=simple configure option?  You did not mention 
that, but otherwise I don't see how this problem can occur.  simple has 
been deleted from mainline.  It may be risky to use it, because so few 
others are using it.

This has been broken since Oct 26, 2003 by a patch from Daniel Berlin 
that added a new argument to ggc_pch_count_object, but did not update 
ggc-simple.c to match.

I wrote a patch to make the obvious fixes, and will check it in when I 
am done testing it.
