   your timing is fortuitous. I just spent the christmas
   holidays delving into GUILE 1.8's heap expansion strategy and
   found and fixed a bug with it.

   How does code review for proposed patches work these days?

I don't know.  I think what you did is fine.  I invite experts
to review and comment.  They will surely be quicker than me (i
will require a week or two just to read/understand the patch).

   I'd be happy to polish it up (ie. add a proper test) for
   inclusion in GUILE 1.8.9,

Sounds good.  I think the general approach for 1.8.x releases
will be bugfixes and documentation changes primarily, so your
change would be most welcome (once i wrap my head around it).
