I spoke with Richard Henderson about this today and he says he is perfectly
happy to continue with the current uses of the TM words. That is to say that
split stack support was granted use of the last two TM words.

It sounds like Ian only needs the last TM word for split stack support. We
should make this explicit by fixing the code to have __private_tm be 4 words,
and __private_ss be 1 word (or whatever you want to call it) with comments.
Then we can close this issue.

I don't have time to fix this, but I did have time to double check things.

Andreas do you plan to fix this?
