Bill Shelter,

The following output resulted in the new version of AKCL 1.222 
I built this version on a SUN 3/80.

This appears to be an obvious error.  Did I build this
version incorrectly?

I had previously sent you mail on the topic of displaced
arrays and the garbage collection process.  Your solution
appears to be valid.  I have also performed some testing
on this new version of AKCL and have had no problems. 
Thank you for the timely reponse to these questions.
