Me knows:

"TN-tools in Nokia were automatically compiled into C-code to be run in VAX-computers. Compiled C-code did not have garbage collector, there was separate reclaim-command for discarding used data. If you managed to run your program without ever hearing the BEEP caused by garbage collector, your program was ready for VAXing."
