Re: WS remains full after large aborted computations?

Interestingly, if I do:

+/⍳1000000000

From the OS, I can see the memory usage go up and up.  However, when it is done, the OS seems to be getting all its memory back.  That's nice!

Using the latest GNU APL on a 64-bit Linux box, I don't see what you're seeing.  I get:

.. seems the only way to recover is call )CLEAR but that erases the entire active workspace. Is there a way to just clean out the incomplete operation without losing )FNS and )VARS, and restore basic evaluation ?
