http://okmij.org/ftp/continuations/against-callcc.html is pretty informative. It was kind of eye opening to see just how many corner cases there are when dealing with continuations.

Thanks for the link! Unfortunately I don't understand what it's saying the issue is... would you have a simple example to illustrate? It's been years since I did Scheme, I've never actually needed to use call/cc in a program, and I'm not advanced enough in Scheme to have seen shift/reset (as with call/c, their documentation is not quite clear). :\
I could, but not at 3 AM. :) I'll try to remember tomorrow.
