Right. It's not just in 21.4.4, but something about 21.4.4 means it
gets tickled far more often. Apparently Jody always gets clobbered in
21.4.3 but most other people didn't.
See the thread "Call Stack for Window..." starting around July 24 for
more details, but basically it's a problem that a structure containing
live Lisp pointers was getting collected too early. Messing with GC
is inherently destabilizing; I'm not going to apply patches
willy-nilly.
