Running C programs

[Kragen]

I'd forgotten I was on this list!

Some time ago, I wrote about possibilities for running programs in
non-pointer-safe languages, such as C or assembler, in a pointer-safe
environment, such as a Lisp OS or a Java VM.  I doubt I came up with
anything at all novel -- probably most of this will be obvious to the
wizards on this list -- but if you're interested, it's at
http://www.pobox.com/~kragen/c-on-lisp.html. 

Is there any progress on a freed Lisp OS?
