Will this cause problems?

/"C functions that can invoke MzScheme (and also be invoked by MzScheme) 
depend on strict function-call nesting./ For example, suppose a function 
F uses an internal stack, pushing items on to the stack on entry and 
popping the same items on exit. Suppose also that F invokes MzScheme to 
evaluate an expression. If the evaluate on this expression invoked F 
again in a new thread, but then returns to the first thread before 
completing the second F, then F's internal stack will be corrupted."
