Hi

When I leave CMUCL alone, it still tries to reclaim memory once in a while:

[GC threshold exceeded with 2,207,384 bytes in use.  Commencing GC.]
[GC completed with 228,888 bytes retained and 1,978,496 bytes freed.]
[GC will next occur when at least 2,228,888 bytes are in use.]
[GC threshold exceeded with 2,240,008 bytes in use.  Commencing GC.]
[GC completed with 247,240 bytes retained and 1,992,768 bytes freed.]
[GC will next occur when at least 2,247,240 bytes are in use.]


Why?

I think this is a bug in the multi-processing version.  It's fixed
now, but I don't recall if the fix is in 18d or not.  I suspect not.
You'll have to wait for 18e or get a more current CVS version.
