Yeah, I noticed that and changed in a later checkin what needs to be dealt
with.

I might need to change the handling of the exception so that if it
propagates up that it only kills the process if the current interpreter is
the only interpreter.

I am starting to see why various people have told me that multiple
interpreter support is very weak (*lots* of stuff is just shared even though
it would seem to be separate for each interpreter).
