Bug Description

It has been observed that in Allegro CL, when making a foreign function call, GC may be prevented from running. Preventing GC from running can deadlock the entire instance.

There should be a test that tests whether or not GC is able to run during a foreign function call.

Refer to the following discussion (http://<email address hidden>/msg02378.html) for additional information.

Also, the user manual should document these semantics.
