As far as `statprof' is concerned, I would recommend using the one available in Guile-Lib, since it's been maintained there for some time: http://home.gna.org/guile-lib/ . I've used it successfully with 1.8 in the past. > I am using guile 1.6.8 on Mac OS X, installed via Macports.

Can you check whether SIGPROF is actually delivered and whether `profile-signal-handler' gets called, e.g., by adding a `(display "foo\n")' call there? Thanks, Ludo'.
