Excellent! :)

FYI, LRN on #gnunet reported the same issue (Guile REPL hangs on mingw),
and --disable-posix fixed the problem for him as well.  He provided a
backtrace (generated by ProcessHacker; gdb didn't generate a useful
backtrace), and I've attached it below.

He also reported that, when built with --enable-posix, control reached
the start of 'top-repl', but never reached 'start-repl'.  The backtrace
seems to suggest that the lockup might be happening within 'sigaction',
which is called from 'call-with-sigint' in (ice-9 top-repl).
