Yes, seems we can close that bug. I have replaced all passes of
SCM_EOL scm_closure with
scm_top_level_env(SCM_TOP_LEVEL_LOOKUP_CLOSURE) and the code works
now. Thanks a lot!

One should perhaps consider doing the same in goops.c, too.

However, scm_closure and the other stuff should be documented somewher ;-)

Regards, Andy

PS: No need to CC me, I am one guile-devel, however, Neil, your reply
wasn't on devel, altough you have CC'd it. Perhaps my fetchmail has
messed it up...
