scm_shell() SEGV on scm_init_readline()

scm_shell() SEGV on scm_init_readline()

[Olivier Dion via General Guile related discussions]

Hi,

When calling scm_shell() in a Guile's context, this sometime results in
a segmentation fault when initializing readline.  This fault is
intermittent and I suspect a race condition since I have a second thread
doing things in Guile's context.  Searching on the web have not gave
much.

I managed to catch the fault with ASAN.  Here's the traceback:

Note that the readline module is loaded by my home configuration.

Anyone has encountered this fault before?
