18.55's been running just fine for nearly the 2 months we've had this machine.
Lately it started core dumping not infrequently.

dbx traced one of 'em down to the "default: abort()" in mark_object, called by
garbage collect in alloc.c.  (BTW: has anyone made gdb for mips?)

Waded thru gcprolist, & sure enuf, 'bout 13 deep, there was a nvar=5, ptr to:
81839c34 81839c0c 77656e2d 0 0

(Either the nvar's rong, or the last 3 items got clobbered.)

Before digging further, was there anything I should'a done in the make, other
than the s-bsd4-3.h & m-mips.h?  Any known problems/workarounds for Ultrix 4.0?
