Yep. This is why I was not pressing to get the changes onto the
branch.
The boehm-gc tests passed without GC_INIT -- without boehm-gc
knowing about the data section. It seemed that as long as the boehm-gc
data section information did not cover invalid address ranges, things did
not crash. GC may have worked sub-optimally and missed some memory, but
it seemed to work.
Thanks, David
