But not to a level that I want. It is time to go deeper.

Richard I am researching how greenlets work. A part of this is actually looking 
at the code with a debugger. However I do not see a problem with also asking 
questions and starting a conversation on this otherwise quiet mailing list. If 
anyone can provide insights, that would be great. I guess that I am interested 
in is that I do not see the any alteration to ceval.c. I need to understand 
more about what is on the C stack to move beyond a superficial understanding of 
hard switching. I am interested in part because I want to see if this technique 
can be extended to PyPy-C.

Cheers,
Andrew
