Thanks for the hint.

The version 1.8.8 is the default in Debian stable, I try to stick to the
stable release in order not to introduce too many uncertainties. There
are enough when developing an application without having an unstable
environment.
On building with 2.0.11 (which Debian stable offers as well), I see that
the bug (I presume it was that then) is fixed.

Is there a 1.8 series Guile in which the fix was introduced? We build
Denemo for several machines and I wouldn't like to say that we could use
2.x on all of them.
