Ok. This script does *the wrong thing*(TM) of course, but
it should not give you a crash, that's for sure.
The idea behind become/capture is to squirrel the current
frame off and wrap a tasklet around it.
This is only possible once per frame, and the etst code tries
it multiple times.
If it does not complain but do funny things, I guess this
is introduced by my change the the tasklet_runner common
frame in f_back, which should be treated like NULL in this case.
Will look into that.

Interesting. I don't have experience with 2.3 yet, so, sure,
this is quite probably.

And I'm still at it, debugging...
