Nice. You can ignore the interp, since we don't maintain it anymore.

Yes, that's very likely. How do you allocate those stacks?
You're supposed to use GC_MALLOC (stack_size). If you can't
allocate them yourself, you'll have to change the GC code
so that it knows about the stacks and use GC_push_all_stack ().
See the libgc code for examples of when and how to call it.
