Thanks for this lead. Even with that, we still wouldn't want a script to
be able to crash Denemo: ever since I did the windows build I have been
aware of the ice9 standard guile scripts and have been meaning to look
inside to see what you have to do to prevent guile exiting on
encountering an error... (to busy still...)

Also, did you have to do anything to get the windows build working for
you? There are several people reporting problems.

Thanks for you interest.
