FWIW, it appears that guile-1.9.5 does not work with the default
bdw-gc in ubuntu/debian, which is gc-6.8 -- I got the crash below
downloading, compiling, installing gc-7.1 seems to fix the
problem.
BTW, I am vaguely thinking of using bdw-gc for my code,
which links to guile .. will this be a problem ??

======================================
a crash, when evaluating (+ 1 1)
I believe that this is another threading bug -- my app loads a
number of scm files during startup, and then starts an
interactive shell. The crash occurs in the shell, with the following
stack trace:
#0 0xf73fbce5 in GC_local_malloc () from /usr/lib/libgc.so.1

FWIW, the above was built against gc-6.8, which is what
ubuntu and debian come with. Suspecting that this is a
gc problem, I downloaded, compiled, installed gc-7.1 and
went to rebuild guile. .... it works!
