Recently I posted asking about an environment for running really big LISP 
programs.  The requirements were basically 1) large (>1Gbyte) memory
size, 2) large (>100MB) stack size, 3) reasonably efficient garbage
collection, and 4) the ability to use cheap (e.g. SCSI) disk drives.
so far, I've tried to run my program on LUCID CL, Symbolics
LISP machine, and Symbolics Ivorys.

LUCID has a 256MB memory limit, so my application runs out of memory.
MacIvorys have a 4Mword stack limit, so the stack blows out
LISP machines use SMD disks, so I can't find 4 of them - which is what
it would take to get me over a Gig of swap space.

I've heard about a system called POPLOG CL, and it seems really nice, but
SUNOS limits you to 512MB per process memory allocation, so I'm not too
hopeful on being able to use POPLOG to get the thing running.

So does anybody out there have any ideas on where I could go to get ahold of
such a beast?  I've tried about every avenue I can think of so far.

Thanks,
