[ts-gen] mem alloc exceptions seen post 091030

[Bill Pippin]

I pushed a new release about half an hour ago, and it just showed up.
Although the tarball has a "Dec  4 15:41" datestamp, our ftp site
reports it as "12/04/09 20:41:00", presumably since EDT is a -0500
time zone.  The following is selected text from near the top of the
NEWS file:

date: Fri Dec  4 2009 (db: 1.78; ts: 0.95; data-090415)
...
      * Add additional error reporting for failure during calls to the
        PageMultiple class constructor, in response to a mailing list
        report.

      * Remove container block copy virtualization due to failure of
        older versions of g++ to successfully compile the virtualized
        class templates.  This issue may in the future be resolved by
        use of autotools tests to choose sources, with the result that
        users with obsolete versions of g++ would then not enjoy all
        the newest features.

        ...

      * Add internal cons pool to memory allocator, and fix recently
        introduced/now removed obj stack bugs that hogged memory; be
        sure to use the 091204 release in place of the 091030 version.

If any users observe termination due to a block_must_be_page exception
--- and there has already been one report of such --- please be sure
to run at least the 091204 tarball, and report to the list the trace
immediately prior to the exception, which should include a line
beginning with "Page?" and followed by five numeric values.

Thanks,

Bill
