Run first removes main from the runnables.
Then it is supposed to run until there are no more tasklets
runnable, that is they are gone, or blocked or whatever.
Run stops when the runnables circular list is empty.
It then re-inserts irself (main) and continues.
It should return None.

In the case where an integer parameter is given, it runs
for the number of VM instructions. If there are still
runnables after the # of ticks (instructions), the current
tasklet is intercepted and returned as the result of run().
The idea is to either catch tasklets that went astray,
or, for small tick counts, to implement pre-emptive
scheduling (careful with that, not trivial).

I don't quite remember what happens with exceptions.
Wel, I thing uncaught exceptions would stop run()
as well and let the exception propagate into main,
where you anyway suld put you default exception handler,
around run().
