+This tests garbage collection during compilation.  First turn on gc
+reports by saying
+	/gc
+
+To generate /tmp/big.m of chosen size say, e.g.
+	makebug 10000
+to get mira to compile the result say
+	/f /tmp/big
+Saying this repeatedly (or /f %) will force recompilations
+Or from the command line after quitting mira
+	rm /tmp/big.x   #to force recompilation
+	mira -make -gc /tmp/big
+
+If the heap becomes corrupted  you  will  see  strange  type  errors  or
+"impossible event" messages.  From Rick Morgan at Durham, May 1990.
