Yes, for `(call/cc make-stack)'. make-stack is supposed to be able to
construct a stack from a continuation, a debug object, or from `#t',
which means the current evaluation stack. But the make-stack code was
missing a lot of the relocations that are needed in the
continuation case. The symptom was a segmentation fault.
I forget now exactly how I discovered this, though. Is it worth me
trying to dig that up?
