debugging object memory

[Frank Shearar]

I realise you're semi-keeping a lid on this, but the folks on the
vm-dev mailing list [1], while probably not terribly knowledgeable
about Plan 9 in particular, do collectively have a whole lot of
experience debugging the VMs on multiple platforms (including esoteric
ones like RISC OS).
