Greetings!

OK, current Version_2_6_10pre does the regression-fresh without error
when preceded by

(si::allocate 'contiguous 15000 t)
(si::allocate-sgc 'contiguous 15000 100000 10)

If you have a git repository checked out to this version, you can cd
there and do a 'git pull' instead of having to clone the repository all
over again.  'git status' will tell you what version is checked out.

I am suggesting leaving the hole size and log-maxpage-bound alone.

The default acl2 build without the extra contiguous allocation uses
about 12000 pages. (apparently all that compiled code in TMP1)  This is
sufficient for all books except out friend elementary-bounders, where
the last load occurs over the 2Gb limit.  One can probably do with a
smaller allocation (but greater than the default number as reported by
room), but 15000 works.

Please let me know what you think, or if this requirement makes things
'too fiddly'.  As I said earlier, appending "-mcmodel=large" to
compiler::*cc* with no allocation also works at ut, but has the problem
that it does not yet compile gcl itself.

Meanwhile, all autobuilds look fine but ia64 at the moment, so we're
getting close to release, hopefully a few days.

Take care,
