===  ALL USERS PLEASE NOTE  ========================

The garbage collector now works.  In addition a new, experimental
garbage collection algorithm has been installed.  With
SI:%DSK-GC-QLX-BITS set to 17, (NOT the default) the old garbage
collection algorithm remains in force; when virtual storage is filled,
the machine cold boots itself.  With SI:%DSK-GC- QLX-BITS set to 23,
the new garbage collector is enabled.  Unlike most garbage collectors,
the new gc starts its mark phase from the mind of the user, rather
than from the obarray.  This allows the garbage collection of
significantly more Qs.  As the garbage collector runs, it may ask you
something like "Do you remember what SI:RDTBL-TRANS does?", and if you
can't give a reasonable answer in thirty seconds, the symbol becomes a
candidate for GCing.  The variable SI:%GC-QLX-LUSER-TM governs how
long the GC waits before timing out the user.
