  I am just now completing a port of the Icon programming language to
the Macintosh and the last thing to be implemented is the context switching.
My problem is that Icon keeps track of it's own stacks with in the heap, and
suprise of suprises, the stack sniffer on the mac keeps blowing me out of the
water.  Doing my own heap zones would be very difficult to surgically implant
into the Icon source, and I'm sure MPW wouldn't like it's tools to do that.  
My only hope is to turn off the blasted sniffer.  Can someone help me?
  I can't imagine that Apple would allow a marginally useful thing like the
stack sniffer to be undisableable (???)
