Thanks for this Andre'.   emacs tells me

user-init-file is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.

Its value is "/home/gwbennett/.emacs.d/init.el"

Here are its current contents:
(load (expand-file-name "~/quicklisp/slime-helper.el"))
(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl --dynamic-space-size 3072")

Starting emacs and evaluating (/ (dynamic-space-size) (expt 1024 3)) 
returns 1 rather than 3
