Hm, this fprintf is stray debugging code, added because I wasn't sure that a
SystemError wouldn't crash the interpreter, given that the stack is utterly
fu*d up at this point and we don't know what the compiler thinks is the
stack size or block size here. (The snippet doesn't show it, but it also
raises a SystemError.) Is it okay if I remove/comment this fprintf() before
2.0 final ?

(At least it didn't say "awoogah, stray debugging code detected, this
machine will self-destruct in 10 seconds" :-)
