Setting the C stack base is most likely the problem. The call to
scheme_handle_stack_overflow means that MzScheme thinks its running out
of stack space.

I think scheme_set_stack_base() will be necessary, but how do you
manage to get the stack base within JNI? In other words, maybe you can
show the calls to scheme_set_stack_base() and scheme-basic_env().

I think special support for /MD isn't necessary anymore, and I dropped
it in the latest upgrade of the GC. I will check into whether it's
needed after all (and clean up the docs if it isn't). My guess is that
this isn't the problem in your application, though.
