Okay folks, a quick heads up. *Any* function in the parrot core that allocates a parrot-managed structure (such as a string or PMC) *must* have a valid interpreter structure hanging around. I'm in the middle of rejigging everything so we can start allocating PMCs & string structures, and properly GC things. It's just *loads* of fun.
