I changed my recommendation slightly and modified your patch to accord  
with it.  See what I did instead here:

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/a520a2c

Basically, checking for a non-null thread context is now part of the  
TEST_VMSISH macro and all the VMSISH_xxx macros are defined in terms  
of that, so we avoid having to make changes everywhere one of them is  
used.

Thanks, applied (with changes noted) here:
