Hit at 2047.

b is in fromspace

Lines 367 onwards of bigintops.c:

    value_obj = MVM_repr_alloc_init(tc, type);
    MVM_repr_push_o(tc, result, value_obj);

    value = get_bigint(tc, value_obj);

    base_obj = MVM_repr_alloc_init(tc, type);
    MVM_repr_push_o(tc, result, base_obj);

    base = get_bigint(tc, base_obj);



I think that value_obj is getting moved.
I presume that base_obj could get moved too.

I don't know for sure what the right fix is.

I see this a few lines earlier, so I assume that something similar is needed
for both value_obj and base_obj, but I'm not sure what the corresponding
unwinding code is:

    /* initialize the object */
    result = MVM_repr_alloc_init(tc, tc->instance->boot_types.BOOTArray);
    MVM_gc_root_temp_push(tc, (MVMCollectable **)&result);
