Simon is going to look into the storage management bug. I believe that it does not show up if you do not use the (new) compacting garbage collector, correct? We'll produce 5.02.1 when we know what the cause is; meanwhile, can you just switch off compacting GC? (Admittedly, that would be easier to do if you could specify some run-time flags at link time, which is something we've been thinking about.)
