Thanks for the report. Indeed, I'm currently working on this area. Can you
please report back:

1) After
   $ make lispbibl.h
   what is the output of
   $ grep 'define MAPPABLE_ADDRESS_RANGE' lispbibl.h
   $ grep MAP_MEMORY lispbibl.h
   $ grep CODE_ADDRESSS_RANGE config.status

2) What is the result of 3 consecutive runs of
   $ ./lisp.run -mm

Generational GC relies on being able to map memory with MAP_FIXED.
In order to do this, one needs knowledge about where to find a free
address range. I've done this for many platforms (lispbibl.d around lines
2100-2500). But with a different Linux kernel version, things may well be
different.

Thanks!

Bruno
