GC-LOSSAGE



I'VE FOUND IT!  AND CORRECTED IT!,  Yes, the random
bug in what has turned out to be the bignum division code
was what caused your test program on CF2 to get  a spurious
GC-OVERFLOW interrupt - it seems that indeed in one place
a random register was left pointing to a random cell, which
later got turned into the free-storeage list.  DOes anyone
else think that they may have had a manifestation of this
bug?  By the bye, I ran the test from CF2 for 30 minutes of
CPU time, and there was no GC-OVERFLOW, so I'm sure that's it.
