At least one change from the default is crucial. By default, boehm considers
only pointers to the first byte of a heap cell to be a reference to it,
but due to our use of tagged pointers, any version used with Mercury programs
has to consider any reference to any byte in the first word of heap cell
to be a reference to it.
