The problem being addressed here is that somewhere in the call stack of a transaction, we can wind up instrumenting local variables. When those subroutines return, the stack gets re-used. It can happen that that re-use happens to be within the stack frames of libitm itself. If we do nothing, we risk clobbering libitm's stack frames and crashing on the way back out to the main application. r~
