+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 698158: prevent trying to reloc a freed object
+
+In the token reader, we pass the scanner state structure around as a
+t_struct ref on the Postscript operand stack.
+
+But we explicitly free the scanner state when we're done, which leaves a
+dangling reference on the operand stack and, unless that reference gets
+overwritten before the next garbager run, we can end up with the garbager
+trying to deal with an already freed object - that can cause a crash, or
+memory corruption.
