newlisp -x does not play well with -m or -s

Notably, in the embedded executable the source is loaded before other command line options, whereas it otherwise is loaded after the options (will, in the order it occurs on the command line).
E.g., if you make the "main body" be in a prompt-event (ending with an exit) rather than performed as part of source loading, you can provide -m and -s to the embedded executable before this "main body" is performed. But, I couldn't then make it avoid the NewLISP blurb.
In any case, it would be nice if -m and -s options also could be provided in the source; e.g. as some variant of reset.

In upcoming release version 10.6.2, the reset function can be used to change the maximum cell memory used by changing the max cell count during program run.

see here: http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/develo ... html#reset

This can be done at any point in a program without restarting the system. During program run sys-info could be used to watch the current cell count.

I did not implement resetting the the maximum stack usage, which would require a partial system restart and is much more involved. The current reset addition was very small.

try linking with test2.lsp, there is a minimum (somewhere less than 32768) preallocated, which will not be hit specifying 512 cells. Do 32768 in test2.lsp and try again. Memory gets allocated in bigger chunks and a new allocation will not happen until a chunk used.

Cool, nice that we'll be able to set the cell memory, but the having access to the stack size would open up others options for dynamic constraints.
