Upon closer inspection, it could be that the problem is that
Guile 1.6.x just has sloppy headers. In Guile, you have to be
excruciatingly correct with the argument types you pass around,
but the C code for the library itself is exceedingly sloppy
WRT types. Go figure. I think 1.8 fixed a lot of that though.
I should retry toning down the strictness for Guile 1.6.
Thanks - Bruce
