Hey Ben,

Mainly that the generator state is saved/restored by just copying the full
function frame in fullcodegen, which is of course not portable to the
optimizing compilers. :-)
A better approach would basically context allocate everything and just
reenter the context, but that will be slow by default in the
interpreter/fullcodegen; so we need to find a compromise in between.

HTH,
Benedikt
