But scm_leave_guile can result in garbage collection bugs in  
multithreaded programs.  Look in threads.c for a copy of the email  
message I wrote on the problem.  (There may be similar issues with  
scm_enter_guile, I haven't thought as hard about it.)  I doubt this  
can be fixed with that API, but if you spot something I missed, I'd  
be glad to hear about it.

The list archives seem to be missing some messages at the end of  
February.  Why will with/without-guile not work for you?  In the  
message dated 20 Feb in the archive, can you not call g_main_loop_run  
via scm_without_guile?
