    We finally found it, thanks in part to the added assertions and your
    reporting of the assertion that occured.  The problem should be gone
    on the latest master.

    A magazine in the context of nmalloc is a small cache of free
    objects of the same size.  Our nmalloc uses magazines in multiple
    layers to avoid MP conflicts between threads.  The particular layer
    that was broken was a fallback layer that wasn't being locked
    properly.
