I don't think it is worth worrying about his too much. OK. I made the type-errors in GC abort() guile. I took a look at the scm_memory_error() calls. From what I gather, most of them are not really valid, in the sense that they often follow malloc() calls (as opposed to scm_malloc) -- it might be that GC-ing frees enough memory to satisfy the request. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | hanwen@cs.uu.nl | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
