Yep. Good catch. The library PMC was constructed as a ConstParrotLibrary PMC (which means that its not marked during trace_system_areas) *but* its contents, mainly the meta_data wasn't constant. OTOH if the lib PMC was in the root set, it should have been marked (and the meta_data) so I'm not sure if I did fully catch the bug. > I don't know if this affects all property hashes, or only those on > loaded libraries. The property hash is marked in trace_children(). leo
