warning: stack count incorrect!

warning: stack count incorrect!

[Linas Vepstas]

FYI,

I've been running guile-1.9.0 for a while, and recently saw the error message

    warning: stack count incorrect!

print out on stdout.  I greped for it and found:

libguile/stacks.c:      scm_puts ("warning: stack count incorrect!\n",
scm_current_error_port ());

I'm not sure what triggered it; I hadn't yet done much.  Not sure on
how I should
go about debugging.  (Should I?)

one request: can someone change this to "Guile: warning: stack count
incorrect!\n" ?
it took me a while to realize it was guile that had printed the thing
and not some other
component.

You are out of date, then ;-) Planning to skip directly to 1.9.2, maybe? :)

Well, I'd like to get a test case that reproduces that condition, then
fix the problem, removing the need for the printout. Do you have one?

Sure, we can do that. Still, a test case would be better :)
