That looks right for as far as you're getting. (There could be a
problem when scheme_basic_env() returns, because there's no guarantee
that `dummy' is deeper in the stack than `e'.)

I tried embedding MzScheme in a little Windows app --- even starting it
in a thread other than the main thread --- and scheme_basic_env()
worked. So, I think I'm probably missing something about the
environment provided by the JVM.

One more thought: You mentioned that you re-build the DLLs with /MD.
But are you otherwise using the DLLs that we include in a distribution,
or are you building yourself?
