[CM] Possible bug with c-object & openlet

[Christos Vagias]

Thanks for the tip Bil!
Good to know also about the reasoning behind this behaviour.

By paying a (belated) visit to the documentation I also saw the "Don't
forget to GC-protect the let!"...
It just seemed obvious to me that it would be protected. But either
manually protecting it, or storing it somewhere -causing it to be
protected- makes much sense.

Thanks again, and happy holidays!
