I don't know anything about this garbage collector, and only a vague
idea about the problem with the stack bottom variable.  But if
somebody can post a short description of the problem, including what
is the use of stack bottom in the package, I'm sure this issue can be
resolved, because people who designed and implemented the way memory
is mapped under DJGPP are available here.  (I'm not one of those
people, so please do NOT email me directly, post to the news group.)
