Last I heard, Christian was moving pieces of the C
stack while there could be pointers to it in use.
That's definitely dangerous, as he discovered when
it broke Tk.

I'd be very nervous about using Stackless until
it stops doing that.

Seems to me it could be fixed by just copying the
C stack as a whole, instead of piecemeal.
