Before doing that, I would suggest using the following two
files ge_gc.h and ge_gc.c, and comment out the body of the
`dispose' routine in the 3 classes that you mentioned and
call `do_nothing' in these 3 `dispose' routines instead.
(You have to call `do_nothing' otherwise the whole `dispose'
routine will be optimized out by gec.)
