Did it actually run out of stack during a tail recursion? If so, then
that's a nasty bug in guile that we should be aware of.
(For those who don't know, scheme is required to handle tail-recursion
with no stack growth, so
(define (foo n)
(if (= n 0)
#t
(foo (- n 1))))
is guaranteed to take finite (normally trivial) stack space, no
matter how large n is. In fact, in most implementations, "do" is
just a macro that expands to a "let loop" or other simple recursion.)
