Description
The parallel compacting collector contains unused code for a "block table" that was an attempt to speed up pointer updates during compaction.  The code no longer works and should be removed.

Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
This block table code was never updated when the marking bitmap changed to separate the object start bits from the end bits and is now badly bit-rotted.  A new implementation is planned; see 6725714.
