The problem is not the bytecodes, but the libraries. Common Lisp contains
lots of functions that allocate memory. Of course, one could do a very
invasive auditing of ECL and log all those operations, but this is a
nontrivial change -- I doubt this approach is used elsewhere: doesn't
Google Chrome actually devote one process for each page, thus isolating
them perfectly?
