Good catch there! I'll leave it to Dan to decide if it makes sense but it works for me. reverse.cola now reverses core_ops.c which is pretty crushing. It only takes about 120 seconds on my box, recursion depth grows to 20+ and parrot resident size hits 32 Mb, but it finishes. With the stack fix and GC catch, should we do a maintennance release sooner than later, as these were seriously nasty? -Melvin
