I have solved the immediate problem by purging the Windows machine from MinGW and re-installing MinGW-W64 with the i686 architecture. Everything works well. Could the older CPU lack some features which either the MinGW-W64 tool chain or Chicken Scheme need? The laptop has an Intel Core2 Duo L9600 running @ 2.13 GHz. Thanks. -- Claude Marinier
