So, it means that the problem with Void is probably not due to
a limitation in gec. It could be that because of problems with
the GC, it thinks that there is no more memory and 'GC_malloc'
returns a null pointer (i.e. Void object). Currently gec
does not raise yet a "no more memory" exception in this case.
So a creation instruction would silently return a Void
reference.

Anyway, there seems to be problems with the Boehm GC under
Linux. As I said in a previous message, perhaps there are
some options to be used to compile the Boehm GC that would
work around these problems. But who knows which options
to try?
