Yeah, by simply running `make check` in a loop until it fails. It
doesn't usually take more than 10 or 12 runs to hit the error (and only
one or two when inside a VM).

Yes, but that +1 is already done once before the C_demand (line 7304
after applying the first patch), then done again in the argument to
C_alloc (line 7309). I think only the first one is necessary; that way
we'll be C_alloc'ing the same amount that's C_demand'ed, and that's used
for the eventual C_do_apply call, (+ (length lst) 1).
