CB>unfortunately I don't really have time to dig deeply into your code. I

Carl, I took your advice and ran stackless.py on top of greenlets and 
CPython. The test programmes worked! I will write more tests in the days 
to come. However this is a really need approach. This should be documented 
somewhere for other folks to try!

CB>This makes it possible to distinguish problems in the pure app-level
CB>code in lib/stackless.py from problems in the RPython-implementation of
CB>coroutines in PyPy. Given that you are changing the applevel code only,
CB>it is much more likely that the problem is actually caused by something
CB>you changed.

I changed only stackless.py. In turn, I changed very little code outside
of adding the select function. I am not sure what I am looking for but I 
started to look at pypy/module/_stackless for clues. If I had to guess,
I am thinking a culprit may involve stackless_flags - I am not setting 
a flag in the correct spot in the new code.

Once again, thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Andrew
