Hello!
I just stumbled upon this bug (here I use Guix to feed Texinfo strings
but I suppose we could reduce the test case to be Guix-less.)
Test case:
(use-modules (guix) (gnu) (texinfo)
(ice-9 threads))
(define sequential? (getenv "SEQUENTIAL"))
(define (for-each/maybe-parallel proc lst)
(if (pk 'sequential? sequential?)
(for-each proc lst)
(n-par-for-each 10 proc lst)))
(for-each/maybe-parallel
(lambda (package)
(and=> (package-description package)
(lambda (str)
(catch 'parser-error
(lambda ()
(texi-fragment->stexi str))
(lambda args
(pk 'bah! args)
(error "failed"))))))
(fold-packages cons '()))
This code crashes when using ‘n-par-for-each’ but passes when run
sequentially:

The bits shown in the ‘parser-error’ arguments suggests memory
corruption.
