My guess is correct. lisp.exe uses bit 31 (counting from the LSB) as a marker
during garbage collection, and this is incompatible with Cygwin's use of high
memory for the heap. I think I know how to fix this (by defining
LINUX_NOEXEC_HEAPCODES in the Cygwin build), but I haven't finished testing it yet.
I've now built clisp-2.48 with this change (32-bit only), and I've tested it
as well as I can, given that I'm not a clisp user. The build passes all but
a handful of about 12,000 tests, so I think it's probably OK. (None of the
test failures involved crashes.)
Sounds great to me (not being a clisp user myself).
I'm attaching the patches that I applied (on top of Reini's patches) in
order to make the build succeed. I also had to use libdb4.5 instead of
libdb4.8.
Is that ok? I mean, shouldn't a package always try to use the latest
version? What's the problem you're observing ? Maybe Volker can help
here?
