I have reverted that part of the "eval is actually compile" commit that
seems to have caused you problems. I wonder, though, what is loading up
srfi-1 for you?

Is it something about your shell, that the GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 is not
actually doing its job?

It seems so. Can you follow up on this and determine why exactly
autocompilation is attempted, even though it should be disabled?

Thanks,

Andy

ps. Sorry you seem to be hitting all our corner cases. Your testing is
appreciated.
