LOSSAGE!
A) With PURE=nil and *PURE=T, the UUO handler tries to clobber UUO's in pure
code!!!!
B) If you purify after loading one file but before loading a second file, then
pointers into freespace are left pointing into purified pages.
I think the whole mechanism needs some review and thus I am not going to
touch it until we get to talk more. The purification mechanisms seem somewhat
ill-defined and this is what is causing these random screws.
