Re: Space pointers

Materializing can be a hassle.  Esp a list of information. There are details
re: heap space marks that are only used by ILE compiler writers that have to
be waded through.  I assumed that MATHSAT was a non starter because of the
performance hit taken every time you want to extend the allocation.

But the machine does have the allocation info readily at hand.  REALCHSS
uses it and FREHSS signals an exception if the space has already been freed.
But where is it ...
