AFAICS the problem does not occur with Guile 2.0.

For 1.8, could you try running Helgrind and see what happens?

Well yes, ports still aren’t thread-safe ;-) so this is bound to crash
in unexpected ways.

With Guile 2.0, it always ends up with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ERROR: In procedure display:
ERROR: In procedure fport_write: Bad address
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
