Ok, I did the simplest possibole compromise for the
moment, which allows you to "get at the return value"
of any tasklet.
The last returned value of the frasmes which constitute
a frame is no longer discarded, but assigned to the tasklet's
tempval field. Given that you are holding a reference to your
tasklet, you are always able to pick up this return value.
This solution doesn't hurt anybody and most probably doesn't
break any code.
