I just fixed a bug that is likely to be the source of this problem:
the generated string constant was not created via `write', put effectively
by using `display' (stupid). Try the new CVS version.

Do you have large literal objects in your code? Note that program-startup
will be longer. On the other hand, if you do (have large literal data structures
embedded in your code), the C compile-times can be reduced dramatically.
But beware: this feature is a hack!
