* gc.c (SCM_MTRIGGER_HYSTERESIS): New memory management parameter.

Browse source 
(scm_must_malloc, scm_must_realloc): Added a hysteresis to the
rules for raising scm_mtrigger. Previously, unfortunate but not
unlikely circumstances could result in almost constant invokation
of the gc. Now, this situations should be less likely, but they
are not prevented completely.

*
* INIT_MALLOC_LIMIT is the initial amount of malloc usage which will
* trigger a GC.
*
* SCM_MTRIGGER_HYSTERESIS is the amount of malloc storage that must be
* reclaimed by a GC triggered by must_malloc. If less than this is
* reclaimed, the trigger threshold is raised. [I don't know what a
* good value is. I arbitrarily chose 1/10 of the INIT_MALLOC_LIMIT to
* work around a oscillation that caused almost constant GC.]
