Why didn't these two new asserts get the same, more informative, error 
message as the first assert you changed? Maybe you could extract the 
check out to a helper macro that prints the relevant information?

Another point that Bengt mentioned yesterday, is that we don't really 
need to print the old_gen part of the assert. It's already printed in 
the hs_err file.

Thanks,
