The issue was briefly discussed, there were problems with MS-Windows 
that I do not follow and cannot easily test, Dmitry played it safe and 
left MS-Windows alone, and I followed his lead.  It was reasonable for 
us to be cautious about enabling USE_STACK_LISP_OBJECTS on an untested 
and potentially-problematic platform.  And it was reasonable for you to 
enable USE_STACK_LISP_OBJECTS on MS-Windows once you installed further 
changes to fix the problems and had tested the result.  There was 
nothing sneaky about any of this, and the above-quoted remarks are 
unwarranted.

By the way, I share Stefan's concern that the performance improvements 
of USE_STACK_LISP_OBJECTS haven't been adequately demonstrated.
