Grrr.  I thought we'd nailed that...

Please look at the end of the check-guile.log file, to find out the
last test case that ran successfully, before the one that hung.

Then, if you like you could confirm that it is the next test that is
the problem, by removing everything all the other tests from
popen.test, and running just popen.test with

  ./pre-inst-guile -s test-suite/tests/popen.test

Then, if possible, add debugging (display ...) lines, use GDB, etc.,
to try to find out more about the hang.

Thanks!
