I vaguely recall some issue with this, but I can't find the messages
that discussed this.
However, I tried your code a very recent CVS build. It does still GC
after the threshold has exceeded most-positive-fixnum and actually
finishes. Can you try again, with, say, the October snapshot? Note
that I used a Sparc build with gencgc. (Check *features* for
:gencgc.)
That's the good news. The bad news is that room crashes. :-)
Type-error in KERNEL::OBJECT-NOT-FIXNUM-ERROR-HANDLER:
597445728 is not of type FIXNUM
[Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]
It's printing out a summary and obviously it assumes something is a
fixnum but isn't.
