Re: Retrieving resources from Scheme

The netbeans IDE lets you kick off a GC at any time - which I tried (to 
no avail) The larger program does not have such tight loops in any case. 
My understanding of the profiler is that it forces GC collection 
regularly as well so there's no a great deal of evidence pointing to a 
tight loop GC problem. I'm not sure about classloaders - I'll follow up 
with google.

My next step is to take Per's advice however and try to get the SVN 
version going. I think I'm currently on version 1.8; I seem to have 
cunningly shot myself in the foot by renaming the jar to kawa.jar and 
losing the version number. Is there any way to find out from the kawa 
repl directly ?
