My assignment partner can't seem to run the program we're running on, and I have no idea if I misconfigured something in the code or their Java installation is broken or whatever else could possibly happen. So we agreed to attend a help session today to have an instructor take a look, but I forgot it is a public holiday, so that will have to be done tomorrow.

Seems enough I have enough to be annoyed at today, but at this rate I still couldn't complain about a slightly longer break.

I need to go do some preparations for this chaotic Monday morning. I'll be on and off for a while.

My mission today is to figure out why my SUBTYPEP returns T and T for arguments T and CHARACTER.

Since Bike's code passes the ANSI test suite, it has got to be something about the way it accesses the environment or does type expansion.

Also, I have appointment with my "pneumologist" this afternoon, so I'll be away for a few hours then.

pjb: The nursery GC would have no problem shortening a rack. With the global heap, I think it is possible only if at least two words are freed up.

Similarly, the nursery collector has no space following the rack. Before a nursery collection, we must assume that the first word after the rack is allocated, and after a nursery collection, everything is compacted, so no free space then either.

The global collector might have free space after the rack, and that can sometimes be determined without a GC.
