It's tricky to reproduce such issues without a minimal repro. I wrote my
own and I do not experience such behavior. When I run the attached file
with `csi -:x test.scm`, I see it printing 1 every 10s. I can then
copy-paste `(define (game-loop-iteration) (print 2))` into the REPL and
if I wait another 10 seconds, it prints 2. Do you have the same
behavior? If yes, then chances are it's the fault of the code change
(for example it might perform a thread blocking operation).

I'm on the same CHICKEN version, but on Arch Linux.
