We write a lot of GC bitmaps, but they aren't really tested except for the overall GC
test.  We should test them explicitly.  Russ' idea:

I wonder if we could have a debugging routine that takes an allocated block and (say)
sets every slot that holds a pointer to ~0. then a test could check that the expected
slots were edited.
