I think it is. Somehow guile-tools snarf-check-and-output-texi is trying
to import srfi-1, which fails because parts of srfi-1 are in an unbuilt
shlib. But actually sometimes it succeeds if an installed shlib is in
your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent -- in that case you get an
incompatible version and a segfault, as dsmith saw.

Care to take a poke at fixing it? :)
