bug#60140: Stack smashing detected after first guix pull on fresh Ubuntu 22.04 guix install

[Andrews, Kyle (KC)]

My system administrator just installed guix for me thanks to it being so easy 
on Ubuntu.

To show it off, I wanted to make a quick demonstration to a colleague on how it 
makes it easy to create a reproducible python environment using `guix shell`. 
That command didn't seem to exist on the version of guix available from ubuntu 
(1.3.0). Not anticipating any problems, I thought I just needed to run `guix 
pull`.

That errored out for me at the "computing derivation" stage the first time I 
ran it.

Thankfully, running `guix pull` again immediately afterwards worked. This left 
me with the following familiar output.

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
building profile with 1 package...
hint: Consider setting the necessary environment variables by running:

     GUIX_PROFILE="/home/u548962/.config/guix/current"
     . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"

Alternately, see `guix package --search-paths -p 
"/home/u548962/.config/guix/current"'.

hint: After setting `PATH', run `hash guix' to make sure your shell refers to 
`/home/u548962/.config/guix/current/bin/guix'.
#+END_QOUTE

 Being that this is a foreign distro, I thought I needed to run the hint lines 
to get the updated guix executable in my current terminal.

Instead, now I see:

#+BEGIN_QUOTE
me@ubuntu:~$ GUIX_PROFILE="/home/me/.config/guix/current"
me@ubuntu:~$ . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
me@ubuntu:~$ hash guix
me@ubuntu:~$ guix shell --help
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
me@ubuntu:~$ guix --help
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
me@ubuntu:~$ guix
*** stack smashing detected ***: terminated
Aborted (core dumped)
#+END_QUOTE

I was hopeful, but now the guix command does nothing at all.
