The answer is above. If the run loop is entered the first time, the
stack top is automatically set to the run loops level. That's it. All
PMCs that are created before have to be registered manually. Or - if you
are really creating just a few PMCs turn of DOD/GC. Parrot does it
currently in the compiler.

Ok, ok. We'll have to prefix all globally visible symbols.
