Still crashity crashing

I think Christian is asleep right now, so I'll steal his thunder and  
give a mini-update:   He's almost certainly found the key crasher.  It  
was a bit of known-kludgey code (mine) we put into the stack walker.   
It's the logic the recognizes return-points after MH.invoke calls.   
Now we have to fix it the right way; he got it partially working; stay  
tuned for a full fix.

As Han Solo said walking out of the Mos Eisley cantina, "Sorry about  
the mess."
