this sounds more like it is probably more of a compiler issue than a guile 
issue, as it varies based on compilation flags. it it were a guile error it 
would more likely manifest as an error that occures regardless of compiler 
options.

I may be wrong though...

misc: I don't really use guile myself as I maintain my own scheme 
implementation which I find easier to work with, though it is quite a bit 
more basic... guile however is far better for running code in userspace, but 
I find its external interface annoying and dislike that it has been 
"labotomized" in my experience when used for its intended purpose... also 
that it holds external posix dependancies (what I have looked at), thus I 
can't use it elsewhere (in an os kernel of mine...).
other than that it is pretty good.
