Just a note to say that William Brodie-Tyrrell, one of my students, 
implemented a version of the Blelloch and Cheng bounded GC which we 
reported in

Vaughan, Francis A., Brodie-Tyrrell, William F., Falkner, Katrina E. 
and Munro, David S., "Bounded Parallel Garbage 
Collection:Implementation and Adaptation", To appear in Proceedings 
of 7th Australian Parallel and Real Time PART'2000 Sydney.
