HeapStackCheck.cmm

[Simon Marlow]

I think you should look at 
includes/dist-derivedconstants/header/DerivedConstants.h first, look for 
the lines that I pasted in my email below.  The problem is likely in 
there, but the file is automatically generated so you'll need to look at 
how it is generated.  The program is in utils/deriveConstants.

Cheers,
Simon
