Hi,

   Thank you for your response.

   Perhaps the workaround is for users to write the Scheme code that has
continuations and load it from a file.  Once it has been loaded and
interpreted via the REPL, the code works as expected.  Possibly a note
could be added to the Geiser manual so that users know about this
problem (A "Known Bugs" section?).  This would help users so that they
don’t spend a lot of time attempting to debug their (non-broken)
Geiser/Guile/Emacs configuration.
