Re: hashx -set! and -ref

[Gregory Marton]

I managed to compile 1.8.3 on debian and it shows much the same error, 
substituting a Segmentation Fault for bus error in the last case.

Guile 1.3.4 simply returns #f in both cases.

I'm inclined to start poking at guile's source code for the first time. 
Could someone give me helpful pointers in the right general direction?

Thanks,
Grem
