Hi,
I have reverted the change between SVN 818 and 819
and I hope everything is back
to normal in SVN 820.

Hi,
I see. This was supposed to fix some other problem, but apparently
didn't work.
I will look into this; in the meantime please fall back to r818
(*svn up -r818*).

Revision 819 causes *severe* performance
issues for my APL Packager.

Normally the system comes up in a second or so; under r819 it
takes tens of minutes to complete, during which one CPU core is
pegged. (It's slow enough that I first thought that some altered
edge condition must've caused an infinite loop.)
Memory usage is stable.
FWIW, this happens in the packager's boot loader, so there's not
a lot of APL code involved.

Once past the boot loader (which took about 90 minutes on my
Haswell i7 notebook), virtually every packager operation is
noticeably slow. If I had to guess, I'd suspect that either
branching or APL function calls are eating a lot of cycles
unnecessarily; my code uses lots of both.
