Hello lispers,

I built an application with (generate-application) which
works quite fine in UNIX when the application is run on
the foreground.

I have observed that if I run the program in the background, 
after a while the program gets to sleep, it doesn't crush,
it just doesn't do anything. This is an example of the 
command line:

  prompt% my_application -L input_file.fasl &

I suspect that this happens when lisp performas a global gc,
but I'm not sure. The program stops and waits for an event  
to complete (according to the UNIX definition when a 
process is sleeping), but I don't know what might it be,
since my program performs only numeric calculations.

Could this be happening because I didn't give any important
argument to the generate-application function?

Any suggestion!?



   Many thanks
    Arturo
