Not knowing much about your existing C functionnality, I would assume you
are calling V8 methods (scope) from the wrong thread. It is very much
possible that the library you are binding to uses threads.
The rule of thumb is not to call any V8 function from any other thread than
the one running the main uv_loop.
So, the best thing to do in your ReturnObject() function is to push some
work in the uv_queue or whatever that's called now. Your work will get
called next time the uv_loop runs, and you'll be in the right thread.
