thanks for the bug report.  i have started to look at this.  it appears
the environment at segf time has both `a' and `commandls' as names, but
no value for `a':

(gdb) gp env
$5 = 0x80651c8 "(((a commandls) (\"/usr/local/bin/guile\")) #<eval-closure 
40245828>)"

because the bad-define-placement error is correct -- using `local-eval'
requires application and thus the head-of-scope requirement for internal
defines cannot be met -- my question then becomes: why is `a' in the
environment at all?
