I think it has nothing to do with the actual bits sent, but rather that some earlier random data caused the code to take a rarely tested execution path, which has garbage collect bugs in it, which is discovered a while later.
Just for the record, I hope nobody interpreted that as anything but speculation as to the cause, not as any kind of assertion that the problem wasn't more serious. (My speculation was based on experience I had when getting GC crashes in my patched version of lsh.)
Sorry if I caused anyone else to be confused, Simon
