Pb with memory on Windows XP



Greetings!

Why don't you try repeating with :lisp (setq si::*notify-gbc* t)
before the run, and :lisp (room) before and after.  You can run the
gbc by hand with :lisp (gbc t).

If you really want detailed output, :lisp (setq
si::*notify-optimize-maximum-pages* t) before the run. 

Take care,
