The Guile manual warns about "a Common Mistake in Allocating Smobs":
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/guile-ref/A-Common-Mistake-In-Allocating-Smobs.html#A%20Common%20Mistake%20In%20Allocating%20Smobs Indeed, it seems to me the Guile 1.6.0 source code contains numerous instances of this common mistake. For example (in scmsigs.c): return scm_list_2(scm_cons(scm_long2num(old_timer.it_interval.tv_sec), scm_long2num(old_timer.it_interval.tv_usec)), scm_cons(scm_long2num(old_timer.it_value.tv_sec), scm_long2num(old_timer.it_value.tv_usec))); If I understand it correctly, this statement contains several allocations, each of which can potentially trigger garbage collection and delete any of the intermediate results. Have I mistaken? What is the right way of constructing and returning the list above?
