 John Cowan reports:

 {{{
 On Cygwin, "make check" reports several problems.  I did exactly
 the same build and test on Linux (Ubuntu Lucid on the CoLinux kernel
 2.6.33.7-co-0.7.9) with no problems at all.  (I used 4.7.5 (rev 44c2f63)
 as the boot chicken on Cygwin vs. 4.7.5 (rev 0e44970) on Linux.)

 I get 23 instances of "[panic] nursery is too small - try higher setting
 using the `-:s' option - execution terminated" in the Cygwin stderr log,
 which I have attached.  I commented out the "set -e" in runtests.sh so
 the whole test suite would run to completion.  There are no such panics
 in the Linux stderr log.

 I haven't tested exhaustively, but the first two panics result from
 interpreter runs on apply-test.scm and library-test.scm.  If I add -:s2M
 here and rerun csi with the same arguments, it runs much longer and then
 I get the same error.
