That's not an anomaly, it just means that the argument `buf' was
optimized away by the compiler, so GDB can no longer show its value.
This is normal and has nothing to do with the crash.

This crash is inside garbage collection.  The file etc/DEBUG has
instructions on how to debug such crashes (search for "GC").

Also, please post the top of the backtrace, the one that starts with
frame #0.
