I am tempted to say it isn't worth breaking backwards compatibility
and no-one really noticed it anyway.  But I had no clue why the
scheduler locked up and had to run Stackless under a debugger in order
to realise this was how it really worked.

I would be for also changing this behaviour, but am reticent to do so
without Christian's go ahead.  Any thoughts Christian?

Cheers,
