It happens when naGC_swapfree finds that the Nasal dead list is full, so
we can make it more likely by reducing that limit:
Description: Make #750939 more likely for testing

old = doswap(target, val);

globals->deadBlocks[globals->ndead++] = old;
UNLOCK();
With this, gdb --args fgfs --aircraft=b1900d --airport=NZNV and pressing
'v' a few times reliably triggers it, allowing me to confirm that the
patch works.
