Hope so.

A medium-sized program doing lots of symbol, string, and list construction.
Really GC-intensive programs (around 30% of runtime with bigloo).

None. By "normally stay around 200MB" I meant other Scheme implementations
not a former version of Guile.

standard way:
./configure # anything better here?
make
make check
make install

Before I started my program, I activated readline support and did this:

(show-file-name #t stack 0 depth 20 maxdepth 1000 frames 3 indent 10 width 79
