Original bug ID: 6385
Reporter: @stedolan
Status: closed (set by @xavierleroy on 2015-12-11T18:26:45Z)
Resolution: fixed
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Fixed in version: 4.02.0+dev
Category: runtime system and C interface
Monitored by: @gasche

Bug description

If a function closes over more than Max_young_wosize variables, the CLOSURE opcode in interp.c will nonetheless try to allocate it on the minor heap.

When using the debug runtime, this causes an assertion failure. For a big enough function / unlucky enough minor heap state, I suspect it would cause memory corruption.

Steps to reproduce

Compile the attached file and run with ocamlrund.
