We've made progress since then. The code now uses a new PVEC type for
module references, and so we should be fine in all cases since the old
GC code doesn't do anything special for PVEC_OTHER. Only remaining check
that could to be done is if the scroll bar struct on w32 contains a
pointer to something that must be traced, but I find that highly
unlikely.

Yeah, except for the native compilation, which I currently prioritize
for mysefl. I haven't made progress there, alas.
But otherwise, I must say I'm kind of impressed by us :-).

Ah, ok. Thanks! DLLs, of course...
