Comment (by simonpj):

 Yes, that makes sense thank you.  I was forgetting about the late-bound
 constant `CmmHighStackMark`, which `manifestSp` manifests along with the
 areas etc.  I've added yet more comments!

 Disappointing that you still get the seg fault.  I hope you make progress
 in tracking it down.

 Simon
