 *
 * So, as an (admittedly lame) workaround, from time to time we call
 * scrub-control-stack to zero out all the unused portion. This is
 * supposed to happen when the stack is mostly empty, so that we have
 * a chance of clearing more of it: callers are currently (2002.07.18)
 * REPL, SUB-GC and sig_stop_for_gc_handler. */

/* Take care not to tread on the guard page and the hard guard page as
 * it would be unkind to sig_stop_for_gc_handler. Touching the return
 * guard page is not dangerous. For this to work the guard page must
 * be zeroed when protected. */

/* FIXME: I think there is no guarantee that once
 * BYTES_ZERO_BEFORE_END bytes are zero the rest are also zero. This
 * may be what the "lame" adjective in the above comment is for. In
