We need to be careful when doing object-size calculations and pass-through the pre-loaded, safe mark-word, instead of re-loading the mark-word from the object. In the latter case, we might read a forwarding pointer and interpret the bits as hash-bits which would lead to wrong size-calculation and crash.
