If you let it continue, I suspect it has finished by now. For me. it 
took about 8x25 minutes CPU time.

It is indeed strange that this would take such a long time (I even 
stopped it for a while with ctrl-z to let the precessor cool down), but 
it seems that that's what it takes. I suspect that their new garbage 
collection system is rotten (it has to be compiled with optimization 
switched off, or else it crashes) and does some unreasonable things.

Other programs that use this version of guile will probably not have 
much fun either.
