Hi folks,
The attached patch changes OFMEM so that instead of allocating new space within the Forth dictionary every time the /memory and /virtual-memory available/translations nodes are updated, we simply change the property to point directly to a static buffer. This has the effect of saving substantial amounts of memory during OpenSolaris 10 boot (in fact the final dictionary size after boot is now < 256K once again).
Blue/Andreas: please could you take a look at this patch and make sure it doesn't break anything in your SPARC64/PPC tests?
On the plus side, with this patch applied Milax gets to the end of its natural boot without crashing giving the following output:

Cool! Congrats!
Does anyone know what the tod modules does? Is it Time Of Day (i.e. we are missing some kind of hardware clock emulation?)
I think so. Actually m48t59 is emulated in sparc32, but not connected in case of sparc64.
