I noticed that the mark code is recursive, which could lead to stack overflow with some heap scenarios. Have you considered solutions to this, such as pointer reversal?

Thank you for reminding me of this. I need to write a new, better GC. I have considered a few solutions. I believe the GC needs a re-write. I had a system of no-pause GC for awhile, it is time to bring it back.

Last weekend I spent some time trying to get BDWGC working with MiniVM, which it mostly does, but there are bugs.
