                 The only problem I have observed with this is that if
   Scheme unmasks the inexact-result exception, it crashes, because the
   thread timer uses primitives (REAL-TIME-CLOCK) that perform inexact
   floating-point operations.  But there may be other problems.  (E.g.,
   maybe changing the rounding mode could make the real-time clock run
   backwards briefly.)

Spooky.  Hmmmmmm...
