[ substr related PANIC ]
After a lengthy session with gdb and some added debug prints, I've now
tracked down and fixed the reason for the memory panic. The sweep code
tried to avoid freeing buffers, if there were plenty of PMCs left
usable, which of course is totally bogus for string-only code. I've
removed that part.
Anyway, the COW-ping-pong issue is *not* solved, just the PANIC.
Reversing a string of 100000 bytes (1/10th of the example code) with the
posted rev.pir takes:
time 30 s [1]
GC runs 7147
memory collected 1.8 GByte
[1] unoptimized build, default runcore, but that really doesn't matter ;)
