That might be the case although I didn't actually determine how the
object was created.  I know the fault occurred for i = 0 and all = false.

One problem is that the varray is a local and it's created and
managed using VARRAY macros that use GC.  There's also a missing
"struct" in the call to xcalloc.

I have an alternate fix that uses NOGC macros and VARRAY_FREE if
it's preferable to use malloc for the allocation of the varray.
