That's right, for optimization purposes cs is not valid inside the
execution loop. From page 7 of the manual (version 5.25):

>From outside the execution loop, control may be passed to any machine by
assigning the entry point to the cs variable.  From inside the execution
loop, control may be passed to any machine instantiation using fcall
fgoto or fnext statements.
