bug#20209: GUILE 2.0.11: crash in set_port_filename_x for bytevector ports

[David Kastrup]

The following code

#include <libguile.h>

int main()
{
  scm_init_guile ();
  SCM str = scm_c_make_bytevector (0);
  SCM port = scm_open_bytevector_input_port (str, SCM_UNDEFINED);
  scm_set_port_filename_x (port, scm_from_locale_string 
("/usr/local/tmp/lilypond/ly/init.ly"));
  return 0;
}

crashes with the backtrace

Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

after outputting

guile: uncaught throw to wrong-type-arg: (set-port-filename! Wrong type 
argument in position ~A: ~S (1 (Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(by the way: what's up with the non-call of format here?  It's not the
first time I see wrong-type-arg spitting out a format string unmodified)

Compilation was done using
gcc -Wall -ggdb `guile-config compile` nextbug.c `guile-config link` -o nextbug

Version is gcc (Ubuntu 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) 4.9.1

A few simple experiments for triggering the same crash from Scheme
rather than C were not successful.  That does not necessarily mean much.

It's not hard to guess that this is yet another roadblock on the way to
get LilyPond working with GUILE2.

Any ideas regarding what may be causing this error and how to work
around it?
