The problem bit me using the statically linked binary version of 1.0.6.3
distributed on the website. I have tried running that one not only under
Ubuntu but also under a Gentoo-based LiveCD and on a completely
different Linux installation. I always got the same crash.

However, compiling 1.0.6.3 from source I got a warning
during ./configure that "guile cannot be linked statically". As I was
heading for a dynamically linked binary I kept going and the result
works just fine (no crash).

I do not know whether there is some way to link 1.0.6.3 statically
against guile. In any case, the binary version on the website should be
replaced, because I suspect that it will not work on most Linux
platforms.
