Indeed. After that incident I re-compiled Scheme from the latest source,
including your fix. From there on things have been fine with that. I have no
complaints about Scheme at all now, aside from this being a very lengthy
compile. As I remember that situation, the problem I had was with PLT
dealing incorrectly with incorrect Scheme code, leading to Fluxus crashes at
parsing a new file/buffer that happened to have syntax errors. That seems to
me to be quite unlike the current situation which is about more "random"
crashage.

It's nice that something as small as Fluxus could contribute to a large
project like PLT, but my bet would be that this would be unrelated as
the symptoms would be very different. If it were related a patched PLT
should warn instead of either doing nothing unusual or seg-faulting.

My modest cents,
Kas.

PS; I'm still here, just haven't had the time to be as active on this front
as I'd like to be.
