After looking at the code and running through a variety of test cases, I
am pretty convinced that this issue has long been resolved, but the
ticket never updated. In the current code, Parrot_exit already blocks
the GC, which should prevent any ill-effects that would have been seen.
So, I'm marking this issue resolved.
We can talk about whether the current solution is indeed a good one.
Reseting the stack top instead of disabling the GC entirely might make
more sense if we start to see a lot of resource-intensive exit handlers.
We can talk about this and other issues when they arise at trac.
