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.
