I am running this

  $ guile -v
  guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.9-deb+1-1

  $ uname -a

a Debian testing system updated weekly.  I did this

  $ guile
  GNU Guile 2.0.9-deb+1-1

  Enter `,help' for help.
  scheme@(guile-user)> (define (naughty) (let ((i 1)) (naughty) i))
  scheme@(guile-user)> (naughty)
  <unnamed port>:1:31: In procedure naughty:
  <unnamed port>:1:31: Throw to key `vm-error' with args `(vm-run "VM: Stack 
overflow" ())'.

  Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
  scheme@(guile-user) [1]> ,q
  scheme@(guile-user)> (naughty)
  Aborted

  $ echo $?
  134

  $

I'm thinking the second call to naughty should give me another stack overflow,
rather than aborting guile.  On the other hand, maybe I didn't reset the system
properly after the first stack overflow.  Which is it?  If it's the latter,
what's the proper reset?
