If I recally correctly, this may be the same problem guppi had with
1.5.  (The C code in question indicated that it had been adapted from
scwm -- having to do with *call_with_dynamic* stuff).

The original code was copy-pasted from inside libguile, and I believe
our discussion centered on whether or not we could fix this by
providing a public libguile interface to the needed functionality.  In
the end, I think that was put off, and so I just copy-pasted/adapted
the same section from the newer libguile .c file.

If this rings any bells, I'll see if I can either find my patch, or
just reconstruct what I did.  In the end, we still need to fix this so
that programs don't need to copy-paste libguile bits :>

Thanks
