When reporting bugs, please tell us what version of Guile you're using.

This is fixed in Guile 2.0.9.  The bug came into existence when clang
started optimizing out overflow checks, on the theory that if a signed
integer overflow occurs then the behavior is unspecified and thus the
compiler can do whatever it likes.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14495636/strange-multiplication-behavior-in-guile-scheme-interpreter

I'm closing this bug, on the assumption that you're using an old Guile
release.  Please reopen it if the problem still exists in 2.0.9.

    Thanks!
      Mark
