First, change the port so that it builds a much smaller subset of the SRC distribution. This eliminates the enormous swap space requirements of the earlier port, greatly reduces the footprint of the installed tree, and cuts the size of the package in half. Second, include many important new patches. Among them is a slightly modified version of phkmalloc that is thread-safe for Modula-3. It eradicates some rare and baffling core dumps that cropped up from time to time in the previous version of the port. The Modula-3 runtime itself is careful to use mutual exclusion around calls to malloc. But there remained some sneaky backdoor paths into it from external libraries. Confession: In the original version of the Modula-3 port, I used a major version number of 353 for the shared libraries, to correspond with the SRC version number 3.5.3. That was a dumb move -- I should have used 1. The current update is incompatible at the shared library level, requiring me to increment the major version number to 354, even though this is still based on SRC release 3.5.3. This is bound to confuse some folks, unfortunately. I weighed a number of alternatives, such as (a) cheating and going back to 1, and (b) using a 4-digit major version such as 3531. But in the end I decided that 354 would be the best solution, even though it's confusing.
