Just before the interpreter runs into the assertion failure this call sweeps the string table during the anchor_token() call in lparser.c:379. If I remove the checkGC() call my scripts run stable again.

I've tried this on a x86 and x86_64 build of Lua w/ the patch and assertions enabled and cannot reproduce (tried w/ a bash for loop from 1 to 10000 as arguments to the test)
