Re: [Gcl-devel] GCL on windows broken by recent change to MAXPAGE

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for the update!  I believe this change has been
reverted already.  Please let me know if I've overlooked something.

Just a heads up -- acl2 has outgrown the default 1G maxpage heap, but
the machines we support cannot handle a doubling.  My plan is to release
2.6.8 as is, and to then quickly do a 2.6.9, which will have the
following backported from cvs:

1) 64bit wide fixnums
2) immediate fixnums
3) two word cons
4) dynamic maxpages and better near out of memory support. 

Thoughts most welcome.

Take care,
