Hello. If you start guile from a directory that contains "init.scm"
file, it will be loaded. Try this recipe (GUILE_..._PATH are unset for
a pure experiment):
cd /tmp
echo foo > init.scm
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH= GUILE_LOAD_PATH= guile -q
And it fails with this error:
guile: uncaught throw to unbound-variable: (#f Unbound variable: ~S (foo) #f)
Cannot exit gracefully when init is in progress; aborting.
Aborted (core dumped)
I'm not sure I understand it right from the commentary in "init.c"[1],
but I think this behavior is not intended, or is it?

Your invocation does not unset GUILE_LOAD_PATH and
GUILE_LOAD_COMPILED_PATH, but rather *sets* them to contain only one
element, the current directory. Use "unset" or similar to unset these
variables.

Aha, now I see that "GUILE_LOAD_PATH= guile" adds "" (an empty string)
to %load-path. Thanks for the answer!
