For sure!

Btw. does anybody know if it is possible/allowed to call 'compact_heap'
inside a c stub? Somebody privately suggested to add a call to this
function to check for garbage collection problems.

The strange thing is that I'm getting reproducable crashes if I call it,
and also use String.sub, or String.copy in the ocaml program which calls
the stubs. Just passing a string is generally ok.
