The Guix package for Guile incorporates a patch that corresponds to
Guile commit 2fbde7f02adb8c6585e9baf6e293ee49cd23d4c4, which fixes a
race condition for these tests.

Could you check that this patch is really being used?

This file uses a ‘when-implemented’ macro to skip tests upon ENOSYS
(“Function not implemented”).

The first of these 3 tests lacked it though, so I’ve added it in commit
f2764cb1031379c47a17c02fef3f8164a6ce9cda.

Could you run these tests manually to see what’s going on?  From the
top-level build tree of Guile, run:

  ./check-guile statprof.test

and see if it fails similarly.  If it does, you can add ‘display’ or
‘pk’ calls in the tests to see what’s going on.

HTH!
