As Rob Pike pointed out, the compacting garbage collector was used in
severalof the programs written for the Blit. The source file in question
is 'gcalloc.c' and it seems to be in sam source as late as 10th Edition.
From a perusal of research source, it seems to have been used in jim, sam,
pads, mux amongst others.
