Ah!  My problem was in my (lack of) understanding of how C_gc_protect
works.  Now it makes more sense, and with your changes the test code
(original and modified versions) also runs fine for me, both in the
gc-protect and alloc-in-heap cases.

Unfortunately, in my real code, the dispatcher() function is opaque -
it's part of foreign library code that I'm trying to create bindings
for.  So I can't add C_gc_protect calls inside it.  Are there any
options left except for static memory or malloc?

Also, any idea why anything I compile with -O1 or -O2 on this platform
immediately dumps core on execution?  =)

Cheers!
