Normally the GC will only scan the relevant part of the VM stack–see ‘VM_ENABLE_PRECISE_STACK_GC_SCAN’ in vm.c. If you think this is not working as advertised, can you add a breakpoint in ‘vm_stack_mark’ and see what happens? To check your hypothesis you could also define ‘VM_ENABLE_STACK_NULLING’ in vm.c.
