See commit 639b2eb7107b26207d13bb8acb4c1d38d7dba3bd : it is used to work around that fact that =E2=80=98scm_call_N=E2=80=99 uses whatever =E2=80=98s= cm_the_vm=E2=80=99 returns, which may be different from the calling VM. Perhaps that would be better solved by having =E2=80=98the-vm=E2=80=99 be a= real fluid, though. Thoughts? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
