Running Guile 1.6.4 within Valgrind [1] actually shows quite a lot of
suspicious things, most notably use of uninitialized values or
conditional jumps that depend on uninitialized values in the GC code
(eg. in `scm_gc_mark ()' IIRC).  I haven't tried to dig into this so far
due to lack of time and I don't have Valgrind right here so I can't give
you more details.  Did anyone try that before?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
