Yes, that worked (although the point of the c_frame local eludes me).
However, I still need to avoid PyFrame_New because it's getting the
current frame from the threadstate and linking it to the created
frame. I'm trying to create a "fake" frame object that doesn't have
references to any real objects so that I can keep it around for a
while without screwing up GC.

hrmm.... On the other hand, perhaps I can get a frame from
PyFrame_New, and then just decref and replace its f_back member....

Thanks a lot for the help! I'm ever closer to my goal.
