Great!

Wonderful!   Flush out all bugs by the end of the month, please :-).
I'll be away from GCL for 3 months (likely) starting 3/1.  If you do a
lot of MP, a good regression test would be welcome.  The current
status of the code has not been explicitly verified, and could be
somewhat dangerous given GCL's redefinition of malloc.  But what we
have now follows what Dr. Schelter designed before he died, and I'd
like not to change that unless I know its broken.

Take care,
