Carl, I took your advice and ran stackless.py on top of greenlets and
CPython. The test programmes worked! I will write more tests in the days
to come. However this is a really need approach. This should be documented
somewhere for other folks to try!

I changed only stackless.py. In turn, I changed very little code outside
of adding the select function. I am not sure what I am looking for but I
started to look at pypy/module/_stackless for clues. If I had to guess,
I am thinking a culprit may involve stackless_flags - I am not setting
a flag in the correct spot in the new code.
Once again, thanks for your help.
Cheers,
Andrew
