I know of at least one remaining problem with these, but... > Anyone more well-versed in these departments than I care to take a look at > the potential problems?

When it creates the Array PMC for userargv, it allocates the PMC first and then the buffer for the array's data. During the buffer's creation, it does a collection that wipes out the PMC. My lo_var_ptr and hi_var_ptr are set to reasonable-sounding values at the top of trace_system_stack(), but I haven't been able to track it farther yet. Oh, and I do have your recent patch to set interpreter->lo_var_ptr early. The userargv PMC is not anchored other than in the C stack, because it dies in the pmc_new() creation process before the assignment to P0 can run.
