modperl_croak() calls Perl_croak(), which is an XS interface to Perl's
die() function, so surely you wouldn't expect anything immediately
after it to be run?

I'm not sure exactly where it does end up, though. It must be getting
caught by some eval somewhere since we aren't exiting the process, but
presumably it wouldn't be possible to do appropriate clean-up wherever
it lands up unless there is some mechanism for registering required
clean-up behaviour? Otherwise maybe we need to pass interp into
modperl_croak(), or into a new version of that if not all cases
require it, so that it can do the MP_INTERP_PUTBACK(interp, aTHX)
call?
