[net.lang] garbage collection

Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?

Intel's 432, while it does have other problems, seems to do a d***
good job of heap based allocation *and* PARALLEL garbage collection
using Dijkstra's algorithm (On-the-Fly Garbage Collection: An Exercise
in Cooperation, Communications of the ACM 20: 966-975, November 1978).

There is even some talk of a garbage collection processor... (right now
it's done by the iMAX system process GCOL).
