Ok, it's good to know that I'm on the right track, at least.

It seems as if scm_make_stack is always returning #f. In particular, the
code in throw.c :

static SCM
ss_handler (void *data SCM_UNUSED, SCM tag, SCM throw_args)
{
  /* Save the stack */
    scm_fluid_set_x (SCM_VARIABLE_REF (scm_the_last_stack_fluid_var),
                       scm_make_stack (SCM_BOOL_T, SCM_EOL));

always sets scm_the_last_stack_fluid_var to #f because of this. Why
would this be? I thought the whole point of lazy catches was to preserve
the call stack...

Anyways, I have looked at scm_make_stack briefly but haven't been able
to make head or tail of it yet.

I'm using 1.6.1. I have a small .c file that demonstrates this if you're
interested.

Thanks again for all of your help.
