(1) Start GCL
(2) Type
  (setq si::*miltiply-stacks* 8)
GCL should respond with new startup banner.
This is the only indication that stack are
really reset. If not then something is wrong.
As far as I know this trick works only at
top level GCL prompt.  It doesn't work e.g.
in Maxima.  I really don't understand why
*multiply-stack* is implemented this way.
Can't we have some (si::multiply-stacks n)
function to use it with any other GCL
generated image such as Maxima?
I understand that we probably have to call
this (multiply-stacks n) at the very beginning
before doing any calculation. But I don't
think it is a serious problem but I might be
wrong.
