guix-package --list-* hangs

Currently,
   guix-package -A
and
   guix-package -I
hang (they worked initially before I succeeded in installing packages).

"top" shows a process "guile" running at 100% CPU for about six minutes,
using up to 3.5 GB of memory; then guix-package stops with:
Too many heap sections: Increase MAXHINCR or MAX_HEAP_SECTS
Interrupted

I realise this is not very helpful as a bug report. How can I obtain more
information for debugging?

I think you found a bug in Guile’s (srfi srfi-37).

The long option names work fine, but the short names work only if an
argument is passed, as in:

  $ guix-package -I ""

Just reported it as <http://bugs.gnu.org/13176>.

Thanks!
