Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the information!  Hmmm... ok, in that case, I'll have to do the
port syncing within mzscheme rather than the C level, at least until I
understand how to make the extension play friendly with the 3m collector.
Not a problem.

Until the documentation is available, maybe I could look at more examples
of 3m extensions that people have written?  Do folks have suggestions of
collections that I could look at for understanding things?

I'm did a quick grep, and see that the 'openssl' collection does a
scheme_block_until_enable_break() in its extension code, so I'll take a
look at that a little later tonight.  But if there are other nice
canonical examples, that would be great.

Again, thanks a lot for your help!
