I think he wants to know which specific test, and optionally which
specific function invocation, led to this error.  Chances are high that
it comes from `time.test'.  What you can do is run only this test as
follows:

  (Get at the root of your Guile build.)
  $ ./pre-inst-guile -l test-suite/tests/time.test

Hopefully, this will reproduce the error message.  Then you can try to
identity which sub-test from that file leads to that error, and finally
reproduce the very invocation that reproduces it.

Good luck!  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
