You should also check that the GC package will work in a threaded
system.  I know I've had problems getting it to work under BeOS.
I believe it is possible to do but just am not enough of a C/Unix-hacker
to do it.  The secret (so I've been told) lies in using a private
and unused signal to alert all active threads that they should
go to sleep while the garbage collector plays around with the memory.
