An idle question: what's the memory requirement for compacting stacks? 
I'm trying to compact a stack weighing in at 998K with 96K freesize; 
I'm showing about 1300K free memory, and I'm getting an error message 
saying "Unable to compact stack." I can't find any explanations of 
this message in my HC library, but am assuming it's probably a low 
memory situation. A stack measuring over 700K compacted OK, but this 
one and larger ones bring up the same error.
