Where's the code? Where's the code? :-)

I've read that about tasklet switching many times. I'd like to
understand better what kind of problems one can have when switching
preemptively. I mean, in addition to the well-known problems which
traditional parallel computing presents. I understand that variables
returned from the stack can easily break, but could you mention
something else?
