Not being intimately familiar with Stackless myself, I wonder, how
would it deal with a script that executed the line:

x = 10 ** 10 ** 10

My guess is that would cause a Stackless interpreter to block for a
long, long time, until it ran out of memory, but I'd like someone who
*knows* and doesn't have to guess to comment. :-)
