It's relatively reproducible, I get it every 2nd-3rd time for full
'make doc's. Looking at the core dump, it's crashing in
System::derived_mark when marking all_elements_ because the std::vector
has garbage in its size field (it was probably freed). What I don't
understand is how that can happen since the only way of setting
all_elements_ is in System::init_elements where the originating SCM is
also protected...

And Jean just hit it (or another crash) again:
