Don't use precious 'ent's in 'saverec's!

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. runtest is running out of 'ent's.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

runtest executes the file testdraw.ps which performs some
relatively simple postscript drawing with pseudo-randomly 
generated points. It really ought to execute this program
without difficulty.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Oh. The solution I propose is to change the semantics of saving an allocation.

Instead of allocating an ent and fiddling pointers, the saverec would hold an 
ent
and an address and restore would copy the data back instead of exchanging 
addresses.

Restore would still need to allocate an ent to free the copy space.

I don't this this is worth the effort. Restore still needs to allocate an ent. 
So there's no real savings, just a delay.
