Subject: [Caml-list] caml_acquire_runtime_system()

Hi,

What happens when you call caml_acquire_runtime_system( ) more than one 
time from the same thread.

I looked at the code and it appears that you must make you call 
caml_release_runtime_system() the same number of times.

However both functions modify a lot of internal global variables so I'm 
not certain.  What's the guaranteed behavior?  I didn't see where 
chapter 19 (Interfacing C with OCaml) addresses the issue.

Thanks,

Bill Smith
