Brendan, thanks for the quick response!  I will use Suspend/Resume since
these do performe blocking operations.  Something like:

myCFnx
{
    ... make copies of argv[] params...
   JS_SuspendContext()

    ... call blocking C code using copies of params

    JS_ResumeContext
    ... assign an appropriate rval
}

The CString constructor is allocating a separate buffer.  I didn't know
about JS_ConvertArguments.
