/* When a never-before-run thread is restored, the return pc points
   to a fragment of code that starts the thread running.  For
   non-vargs functions, it sets up arguments and calls the client's
   `only' function.  For varargs functions, the startup code calls the
   startup, user, and cleanup functions.

   For non-varargs functions, we set the frame pointer to 0 to
   null-terminate the call chain.

   For varargs functions, the frame pointer register is used to hold
   one of the arguments, so that all arguments can be laid out in
   memory by the conventional `qt_vargs' varargs initialization
   routine.

   The varargs startup routine always reads 8 words of arguments from
   the stack.  If there are less than 8 words of arguments, then the
   arg list could call off the top of the stack.  To prevent fall-off,
   always allocate 8 words. */
