Hmm, there is a problem, though. If we attempt to avoid a stack
overflow in `apply' by using the heap rather than the stack to store
large numbers of arguments, those arguments are invisible to the
stack-marking gargbage collector.
One workaround is to temporarily disable garbage collection if using the
heap. Stefan, any ideas?
