[kaffe] About the garbage collection initialization method

[toodulli at netian.com]

Hi all.
I have a question about garbage collection algorithm.
When virtual machine is initialized, let garbage collection object initai=
lze.
When initCollector method make garbage collector object, it stores alloca=
tion
type in gcFunctions[39] array.
Please, I hope you explain this reason.
