I've been having a problem with pike going into what seems like an
infinite loop while exiting. The problem seems to occur with objects
from my Objective-C module, and it's something I noticed before, but
"solved" by adding a ref so that the objects were never freed. I
fixed that problem last night, and now the problem is back.
The backtrace looks like this:
#0 schedule_really_free_object (o=0x1812038) at /Users/hww3/Pike/7.7/
src/object.c:1068
#1 0x00016610 in low_return () at /Users/hww3/Pike/7.7/src/

#2 0x0001697c in jump_opcode_F_RETURN_0 () at /Users/hww3/Pike/7.7/

#8 0x00003644 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffff974) at /Users/hww3/Pike/
7.7/src/main.c:569
and if I step through the code, I eventually get back to the same
point with the same object, and Pike never exits. Anyone with some
internals experience care to venture a guess as to what the problem
might be?
