vague recollections

Yesterday  before  going  to  sleep  I  tried to remember more details of the
discussion on re-sizing the heap after a save-world.  The only guess I  could
come  up  with  is  that  it  was really the stack, not the heap that we were
talking about.  In the  old  days  (SMLC)  we  didn't  have  stack  re-sizing
(although clearly we had to be able to walk through the stack for roots at GC
time).  If the stack was in a fixed memory location  then  perhaps  that  was
what was going on.
