Version dist-2012-03-24-21.20.36
This release mainly fixes an obscure but irritating memory-trashing heisenbug in src/c/heapcleaner/make-package-literals-via-bytecode-interpreter.c triggered primarily by loading of compiled files containing constant strings longer than 64KB — most commonly generated by mythryl-yacc and mythryl-lex.
This release adds some additional support for posix-threads in the form of
src/lib/std/src/hostthread/cpu-bound-task-hostthreads.pkg
src/lib/std/src/hostthread/io-bound-task-hostthreads.pkg
src/lib/std/src/hostthread/io-wait-hostthread.pkg
This will likely be the last Mythryl release in which concurrent and parallel programming support are optional rather than integrated into the core distribution.
