Yes it could be that the reference is getting optimized out.  I asked
gdb for more detail on the stack frames for exec_byte_code and
funcall_lambda, and the arguments referring to the byte-code object and
its components do appear to be optimized out, see below.  I also tried
adding 'volatile' to the declaration of the local variable 'fun' in
Ffuncall, and that made the bug go away.

Is there anything else I should be looking at before concluding that
this is the problem?  And if it is, what is the best way to fix it?
