That's a bit surprising ... I wasn't aware that ENABLE_CHECKING  
controlled any code that would influence the amount of pure lisp  
storage used.  It mainly enables the assertion checks done in the  
XCONS/XSTRING/XSYMBOL/etc macros and elsewhere.  In fact, I'd argue  
that if ENABLE_CHECKING is changing the amount of pure Lisp storage  
used, it's probably a bug.
