Yes: I push this to get the symbol names only. You must NOT use the
symlist for actual value storage: there is only one for each function.
Each value in the symlist is the numeric position relative to the frame
pointer of the function where the actual value in a call's execution is
stored. In other words, the symlist is a lookup table for the stack frame.

Why would you not want to push the symbols' values onto the stack? As
for storing the list for debug lookup, you do have a case. But I get
debugging ;)
