You use the xform thing (through mzc, I don't remember the details,
sorry) and Scheme_Object* pointers will be moved when there's a GC and
pointers adapted.  You need to be aware of this when handing off such
pointers to other C code.

If you don't want them to move you need to allocate them yourself
(through the system's malloc).
