Incompatibility with MachTen.

[osiris@cs.utexas.edu (Rob Browning)]

There seems to be an incompatibility between MachTen professional and MCL.

MCL freezes the machine on launch. I would expect that there is a VM
problem since MCL uses the MMU for garbage collection, and MachTen uses it
to reimplement the Macintosh's virtual memory scheme (you get VM with a
swap file that only exists/grows when needed).  I told the people at Tenon
about my suspicion and they responded:

>Yes, that's possible.  However, any attempt by another program to mess with

Anyone at Digitool want to send them a copy to work on?  :>

Thanks,
