It's possible for a deep recursion to be all in C instead of
JIT-generated code, in which case the caching code for
`current-continuation-mark' cannot kick in to make the operation
effectively constant time. Bail out (to keep things constant time) if
that happens.
The old implementation could cause deadlock by blocking on a semaphore
while waiting for the original place to run a callback, but a master
GC might be needed (and the blocked place wouldn't get the signal).
Beside fixing that problem, a potential memory leak is fixed in
calling an ffi funcition and having a Racket->C unmarshaling fail.
Also, the GC marking routine for a `place' value didn't reference the
place's underlying `place_obj' value.
The bug is triggered by unsafe flonum operations, a
conversion that tries to make the arguments more unboxable,
and a `lambda' form within an argument to the unsafe
operation.

I now think the problem is likely to be realted to values
that do not fit into a signed 32-bit integer. Check for
the OS version and reject such integers.
The ActiveX part of MysterX is gone. The `ffi/com' re-imeplemtnation
provides only core COM support.
The "mysssink" DLL is still needed, and its source is still
in the tree, but it is downloaded in the same way as other
pre-built DLLs. The DLL no longer needs to be registered with
regsvr32.
The prohbition against `handle-evt' on `handle-evt' is as
document and as originally intended. I'm not sure why it
was allowed.
Existing programs that use `handle-evt' incorrectly
can break. I found and fixed one incorrect use and one
questionable use in the Racket tree (which is a small
minority of the uses of `handle-evt' in the tree).
Extend `define-cstruct' to support #:property specs, which causes
the constructor and C->Racket coercsions to wrap the pointer in
a structure instance with the specified properties. Of course,
the wrapper structure has a `prop:cpointer' property so that the
wrapper can be used transparently as a C pointer.
Add missing tests and documentation for the id`->list', `list->'id,
id`->list*', and `list*->'id bindings created by `define-cstruct'.
This addition triggered several other changes:
* -k for a Mac OS X embedding is now relative to the __PLTSCHEME
segment (which means that executables won't break if you strip
them, for example)
* the command-line no longer has a limited size for Mac OS X
launchers and embedding executables
* Mac OS X GUI and Windows launchers record the creation-time
collection path, unless they are created as "relative" launchers
In particular, allow a pair of a relative-to directory and a base
directory. Paths that syntactically extend the base directory are
recorded as relative to the relative-to directory (which must
syntactically extend the base directory).
The compilation manager now sets the parameter to a pair with
the base directory as the main collection directory, if the source
file's path extends that directory's path.
This generalization solves problems created by cross-module inlining,
where the source location of a procedure in bytecode can now be in a
different file than the enclosing module's file.
Also add a test that checks whether the build directory shows up
in any ".zo", ".dep", or documentation ".html" files.

It looks like my bound for last time was too conservative,
in that I looked for the lowest number that didn't seem
to fail in 10.6. The range of failing values is apparently
not continuous.
I've tightened the bound to match the lowest
number that produces a useful result on my 10.7 machine,
assuming that it works for a continuous range there.
(The new bound is higher than the number previously used as
a lower bound.)

Setting the environment variable causes the bytecode compiler to run
the bytecode validator (which is normally applied to input from a
bytecode file) immediately on all of the compiler's own results.
Certain `lambda'-lifting operations can cause information
about the flonumness of a variable to get lost, leading
to a mismatch between the closure's flags and flags on
a variable reference. (The bytecode validator could detect the
bug when loading the broken bytecode. The broken information,
meanwhile, was only used by the JIT.)
