Feature.

I tried a preliminary fix, which was to make a main tasklet
and make it the current one before Stackless tried to kill all the
remaining ones, but tasklets seemed to be run rather than
killed.

void PyStackless_kill_tasks_with_stacks(int allthreads)
{
	PyThreadState *ts = PyThreadState_Get();

	initialize_main_and_current();
	slp_kill_tasks_with_stacks(allthreads ? NULL : ts);
}

Richard.
