MPS issue job001145

Title:Many (mmqa) tests fail on OS X
Status:open
Priority:optional
Assigned user:Gareth Rees
Organization:Ravenbrook
Description:perl test/test/qa run test/function/5.c fails because,
% MPS ASSERTION FAILURE
!assert=true
!assertid=<no id supplied>
!assertcond=ResIsAllocFailure(res)
!assertfile=trace.c
!assertline=511

This turns out to be because of an unimplemented stack scanner.
Analysis:OS X uses the ssan.c implementation of the Stack Scanner which
has no real implementation, it just return ResUNIMPL. We need
to implement sspp.s, a version of the stack scanner in PowerPC.

This is sufficiently distant from the reported defect that I
will create a new job for creating an Stack Scanner for PowerPC
/ OS X. See job001146
How found:unknown
Evidence:testing
Observed in:1.105.0
