-a. Can we safely just use setjmp()/longjmp()?

-Need to implement a shared buffer for funny functions that require relatively
-large permanent transient buffers (1024 bytes or so), that is, buffers that are
-permanent in the sense that they probably shouldn't be deallocated but are only
-used from time to time, buffers that can't be allocated on the stack because
-they are of variable and unpredictable but usually relatively small (usually
-line buffers).  There are too many of these lurking around; can save a sizeable
-amount of space at very little overhead and with very little effort by merging
-them.

-Clever multiplatform GUI idea (due partly to John Williams): write a GUI in
-Java where each statistical procedure dialog box could be downloaded from the
-server independently.  The statistical procedures would run on (the/a) server
-and results would be reported through HTML tables viewed with the user's choice
-of web browsers.  Help could be implemented through the browser as well.
