I thought of that. There is no config.cache file, and the configure script unconditionally adds '#define USE_EFENCE 1' to the config.h file. Now that I look again, this appears to be a bug in the configure.in script. I'll submit a patch to restore the proper behavior of the --enable-efence argument. > To answer your last question, gh_scm2newstr() is part of libguile, > and most likely it's using g_new() instead of malloc(). Thanks for the info. Isn't this a problem then if memory is being allocated with g_new() and released with free(). I thought g_new() tried to improve program execution time by allocating a single large chunk of memory from the OS and then using its own memory allocator to provide parts of this pre-allocated memory to the program. (Or is it gmalloc that does that.) I don't have any of my reference books handy as my home office is being painted. David
