Comment (by sjamaan):

 This looks like a small bug in the scheduler: {{{##sys#schedule}}}
 "pollutes" the thread thunk with its own continuation, which holds a
 reference to the old thread. With the test program here this results in a
 pathological cascade of references all the way back to the primordial
 thread, with each new philosopher thread adding onto that chain. Patch
 sent to chicken-hackers.
