In any case, the question is how PAD is used by current programs that
might be run on Gforth.

I thought the standard required PAD to be usable as random scratch
memory.  So I'd expect Gforth to allocate one for each task.  Gforth
systems aren't likely to suffer memory shortages from doing that.  It
would be more of an issue for Polyforth.
