Well, I just examined the C code and it's not hard to see what the
problem is.  The closure is not being constructed as a static ground
term, so the C code is constructing that whole horrible thing for each
character of input it tries to read.  I'm not certain, and I don't have
time to look right now, but I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the compiler.
