My recollection is that the object does not change type until all of
the references have been drained and it is about to be freed by
vm_object_terminate(). At the point where the type check is being
performed, the caller should hold a reference on the object. Thus,
the type should not be changing.
That said, an unexpected type change still strikes me as the most
plausible cause.
Is there a test that easily reproduces this problem?
