I've looked at this problem very hard the last days and found no easy
solution. Wolfram's patch is not usable [1] and anything which works
is hideous and slow. I don't plan to have this handled as expected in
2.2.1.
Footnotes:
[1] The current architecture of the library does not allow any thread
but the manager to free the stack. The most difficult problem
with this is that the debugger expects the manager to do this job
and report it.
