Comment(by sjamaan):

 I had another look at it and the 6000 arguments in C-Keen's example broke
 sometimes for me. I've been having varying results. Sometimes the program
 just works, sometimes not.  For example, at optimization levels -O3 and
 higher for CHICKEN it works, and with lower optimization levels it will
 crash, but I can get it to work if I compile the resulting C file with
 higher optimization levels for GCC.

 If the program segfaults normally, sometimes it doesn't segfault when run
 under gdb.  It's also not the stack probe, because I can get it to force a
 GC by manipulating the generated C code, and it will still break. Perhaps
 Christian can have another look w/ Valgrind based on these findings?
 Perhaps compile the generated C manually with no GCC optimizations?
