919	"""Nursery too small"" errors on cygwin"	felix winkelmann	Mario Domenech Goulart	"John Cowan reports:

{{{
On Cygwin, ""make check"" reports several problems.  I did exactly
the same build and test on Linux (Ubuntu Lucid on the CoLinux kernel
2.6.33.7-co-0.7.9) with no problems at all.  (I used 4.7.5 (rev 44c2f63)
as the boot chicken on Cygwin vs. 4.7.5 (rev 0e44970) on Linux.)

I get 23 instances of ""[panic] nursery is too small - try higher setting
using the `-:s' option - execution terminated"" in the Cygwin stderr log,
which I have attached.  I commented out the ""set -e"" in runtests.sh so
the whole test suite would run to completion.  There are no such panics
in the Linux stderr log.

I haven't tested exhaustively, but the first two panics result from
interpreter runs on apply-test.scm and library-test.scm.  If I add -:s2M
here and rerun csi with the same arguments, it runs much longer and then
I get the same error.
