When the tail call eliminator is specified witht the
"-t" switch on the command line, the interpreter leaks
cells during evaluation.

    Workaround:
    Use the garbage collector to recover the lost memory, either
    with the -g commandline switch or use the (gc) function.
    This will invoke a full stop-the-world collection next time
    the interpreter returns to the top level.
