 No, I was trying to say that your example was badly written. In an
 embedded application, after the initialization phase you must *never* make
 a call to a ruby function which is not protected with rb_protect(), or
 what you want.

 If ruby detect an error when it call a function, it will call longjmp()
 and this can crash your application if you have not made a previous call
 to rb_protect(), ...

 If your application is well written, you don't need Init_stack()
