 - Cooperate with the collection thread (see next section).
 - Perform a `longjmp` to reset the stack and call into the current continuation.
 
+Any objects left on the stack after `longjmp` are considered garbage. There is no need to clean them up because the stack will just re-use the memory as it grows.

 Finally, although not mentioned in Baker's paper, a heap object can be modified to contain a reference to a stack object. For example, by using a `set-car!` to change the head of a list. This is problematic since stack references are no longer valid after a minor GC. We account for these "mutations" by using a write barrier to maintain a list of each modified object. During GC, these modified objects are treated as roots to avoid dangling references.
