When running `elisp.test' untouched.  Here's what I get:

  $ guile -L .. -l tests/elisp.test
  [...]
  PASS: scheme: value preservation: cdr
  PASS: scheme: value preservation: vector-ref
  ERROR: Stack overflow

Adding `format' expressions shows that this seems to occur when evaluating:

  (if (defined? '%nil)
      (use-modules (lang elisp interface)))

However, it works when run like this:

  $ guile -L ..
  guile> (load "tests/elisp.test")
  PASS: scheme: nil value is a boolean: boolean?
  [...]
  PASS: elisp: (defvar x 4)
  PASS: elisp: x
  guile>

So I tried the following:

  $ guile -L ..  -c '(begin (set! %load-hook (lambda (f) (format #t "loading 
~a...~%" f))) (load "tests/elisp.test"))'
  loading tests/elisp.test...
  [...]
  PASS: scheme: value preservation: vector-ref
  loading ../lang/elisp/interface.scm...
  [...]
  PASS: elisp: (defvar x 4)
  PASS: elisp: x

And here everything works fine.

Any idea of the difference between `-l' and `load'?  Looking at
`script.c', that seems equivalent.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
