Hi Alex,

Here is the backtrace for doing a regexp search for 'emacs'

scheme@(emacs-guix)> ,bt
           10 (eval (#<procedure 2898080 at <unknown port>:19:16 ()>) 
#<directory …>)

The backtrace seems to change depending on what I search, here is one 
for regexp 'python'

I can reproduce this on a fresh install with no emacs configuration. Is 
anybody else experiencing this issue?
