Here's one for Rich and the rest of the THINK C gurus.

Is it safe to do a setjmp/longjmp through a series of object messages the 
same way one can do it through a series of function calls, or is there 
Memory Manager stuff in the method chain that will be vulnerable?

Application: a top-down compiler that for some imponderable reason I 
decided to implement as methods.  I want to have a command-period 
compilation abort without having to do an unwind everywhere.
