The prox_recur__crc__ class had a serious bug in the operator=.
The bug could have lead to isolated cycle; hence, memory leak.
The revised code also corrects what I think is a bug in
Lin's cyclic reference counting algorithm (see crc_names.hpp
[JL96] reference). Briefly, the bug is caused by freeing
a cell while a pointer to it remains in the control set. The details
are in the crc test driver.
I'd appreciate any corrections.
