Every delegate needs a context pointer.  If the function is defined 
within a function, that context pointer points to the stack frame of the 
function that defined it.  And in this case it uses something from that 
very stack frame: the parameter fn.

ISTM it works straight after you've created it only because the stack 
frame of toDelegate has not yet been overwritten.  However, I'm still 
puzzled, because the process of calling the delegate ought to itself 
overwrite the stack frame.
