[CM] C Stack Unwinding

[Woody Douglass]

I think i may still be missing something -- shouldn't the stack unwind
past the display call in bad_func, and return the #f from the error
function directly from s7_call_with_catch? alternatively, is there a
general way to determine if a given s7 call returned an object from an
error handler?

I'm trying to treat `s7_call_with_catch` in C the same way i'd treat
`catch` in scheme, but it seems i'll have to make a bunch of
intermediate error checks anyway...is this true?

Thanks again,
Woody
