So it looks like it was a problem with the context. I tries adding a
JSValueProtect and that didn't help, and then I switched to calling the
function using the global context instead of the context passed to the
'setTickFunction' callback and that fixed the problem.
So it's working, which is great, but I still don't understand what the
issue was exactly. Is there any documentation on how contexts work, and/or
rules of thumb on how to use them safely?
