Are you finding these via visual inspection?
This leads to to wonder whether we could automate it?
Something along the lines of, for debugging builds, alter the sp
manipulation macros in pp to initially record the high-water mark of the
stack, increase that mark whenever the code calls EXTEND etc,
and complain if sp is ever incremented above it; e.g.:
#define dSP SV **sp = PL_stack_sp; SV** sp_hwm = sp;
#define EXTEND { ........ ; sp_hwm = sp; }
#define PUSHs(s) { if (sp >= sp_hwm) croak(...); *++sp = (s)) }
