guile-hoot install reproducibly crashes at 41% build

[Mortimer Cladwell]

Hi,

I did a git pull https://gitlab.com/spritely/guile-hoot.git
I am following installation instructions at
https://spritely.institute/files/docs/guile-hoot/0.1.0/Installation.html
I am using guix
The first attempt installs lots of stuff but at the build stage crashes at
41%. I need to reboot and retry:

mbc@ins3910:~/projects/guile-hoot$ guix shell
guix shell: loading environment from
'/home/mbc/projects/guile-hoot/guix.scm'...
The following derivation will be built:
  /gnu/store/lfx6a7a16jydk0zzlppwgv9ajsa92wia-v8-11.7-1.155ea5c.drv

/gnu/store/lfx6a7a16jydk0zzlppwgv9ajsa92wia-v8-11.7-1.155ea5c.drv...
 41% ▕█████████████████████████████▋
    ▏guix shell: error: corrupt input while restoring archive from
#<closed: file 7f0871094d20>

To recover I must reboot and do a 'guix pull' but I get the same results:
crash at ~41%

I tried:
guix package --delete-generations
guix gc
cd ./projects/guile-hoot
guix shell

Seems to re-initiate the entire build process but same results -crash at
41% build
I am using Ubuntu on an Intel i5-12400 processor with 8GB RAM

Has anyone had success with this install process? Suggestions?
Thanks
Mortimer
