Comment (by certainty):

 Hi,

 i do experience the same issue here. In 2.735 (file-size) returned a
 flonum. Then i rebuilt
 the current trunk which is 2.636. The next time i tried to issue (file-
 size) it segfaulted.
 I've tested it on a 32Bit gnu linux. I've tried to make a minimal program
 to see what's going on:
 (use posix)
 (define (foo)
   (file-size "some-file-bigger-than-1G"))
 (foo)

 I compiled and ran it and it did *not* segfault. But
 (use posix)
 (define (foo)
   (file-size "some-file-bigger-than-1G"))
 (display (foo)

 *does* segfault. Maybe i'm overlooking sth here (maybe optimization so
 that the first program doesn't actually execute the file-size code?).

 greets
