 Right, DEBUGBUILD=1 and the eggs should be installed from a local
 repository checkout, with

 {{{
 chicken-install -k -l <localdir> -t local
 }}}

 This will keep the compiled .c files on the local filesystem and we will
 be able to debug all code with gdb.

 It's a bit brute force, but gives us maximum introspection. If the server
 hangs, we can attach via gdb. IIRC, the hanging spiffy does not bog down
 the CPU, correct? Then you can just keep it running and I attach when I
 find the time. Or if the behaviour + testing is reproducable, I can run it
 myself.
