#43253: [BUG] parrot segfaults when building perl6 on windows with msvc
after *a lot* of chasing this down, first from jonathan, than chromatic and me, and then finally ron blaschke, we've found and fixed this bug.

turns out that gc intervened during pmc initialization. a pmc was taken from the free list to be recycled, but was never marked as live during gc--which led to all sorts of mean and nasty corruption.

it's amazing that the patch to fix all this is so small.
