Details:

I get a segfault when I invoke the scheme binary built from snapshot 20060414
in FC4.  I'm using GCC 4.0.2, which is why I couldn't build from the 7.7.1
package (make failed with "invalid lvalue" errors; see bug #14994). 
Apparently execution never gets past this function in dump.c:

unsigned long
DEFUN (checksum_area, (start, count, initial_value),
       register unsigned long * start
       AND register long count
       AND unsigned long initial_value)
{
  register unsigned long value;

  value = initial_value;
  while ((--count) >= 0)
    value = (value ^ (*start++));
  return (value);
}

Output from scheme looks like this:

MIT/GNU Scheme running under GNU/Linux
Type `^C' (control-C) followed by `H' to obtain information about
interrupts.


>> A hardware fault has occurred within critical section "garbage collector
daemon".
>> [signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 1]
>> Successful recovery is unlikely.
Choose one of the following actions:
  D = dump core
  I = terminate immediately
  N = terminate normally
  R = attempt recovery
  Q = terminate normally
Action ->
Aborted

Note: although I chose (D)ump at this point, no dump file was produced.

Originally I tried to use the already-built 7.7.1 scheme binary but likewise
got a segfault, but without the message and prompt.  Here are the last few
lines of GDB output:
