It happens when an object cannot be allocated because a garbage collection
cycle is needed.  It's perfectly normal: a failed allocation triggers a GC.

No.  The problem is that, for some reason, the internal consistency check on
the polling page status failed.  I have seen this happen, but it indicates
really serious breakage somewhere.
