I'm trying to figure out exactly what needs to be done here, the comments in the function are a little cryptic. After all the exit handlers are called, we want to perform a finalizing GC run, to make sure all custom destructors are called on all PMCs? Or, is finalization called from somewhere else automatically? That, and what is meant here by "reset stacktop"? I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. -- Andrew Whitworth a.k.a Whiteknight
