I've committed a series of patches (r1683261:1683271) to address this
problem:

   - identify helper functions that (transitively) may call back into Perl
   - bracket all calls to these functions in Swig rules with PUTBACK/SPAGAIN
   (or only SPAGAIN for "in" typemaps, as the local stack pointer does not
   "move" during input parameter handling)

Cheers, Roderich
