Hi Noah, FWIW, I also noticed the infinite recusion problem in bug #30162. http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?30162 At the time, I thought that the following revision might be the one that caused the problem. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guile.git/commit/?id=c6a32a2cd59190dcf17c7fb3022588f56079a03e -Mike
