Thanks for finding this bug.
That patch doesn't look quite right if ! USE_LSB_TAG, since
in that case lisp_align_malloc won't correctly report a
failure in the section of code that checks whether the
memory just allocated can be addressed through a Lisp
object's pointer. Also, what about dont_register_blocks
and allocated_mem_type?
Instead, how about marking the spare conses with Vdead
and the spare strings with NULL data? Admittedly I
haven't had time to think this through....
