Hello, in the last few days since I first built 5.18.0 with
gcl-2.6.8pre, I have seen these `make_writable' errors. I believe they
are due to a bug in gcl. However, I do not see these errors with 5.17.1
built with gcl-2.6.8pre.
These errors also seem to be close to non-deterministic.
Before I added the patch to mload.lisp suggested by Robert Dodier to fix the
bug in `batch', this error did not happen during `make check'.

Running tests in rtest_elliptic:
Unrecoverable error: Pages out of range in make_writable.
