Re: d2c on Macintosh (help!)
Increasing the memory doesn't seem to help (although different allocations
may give different times to crash. I'm looking into this).
Compiling hello-world leaves the header uncorrupted, compiling the first few
files of runtime/dylan leads to the heap zone header corruption that casues
the crash many files later. I think it might even be bootstrap (the first
file), I'll check further.
I think the problem could be related to the size or complexity of the file,
which would relate to memory allocation (although the 100-Meg partition
crashed quicker than the 80....) or the trivial alterations I made in 3
places (one cast-to-self, two 0-length struct initializers altered) to get
runtime/dylan to compile.
