This is because Guile installs a standard error handler which prints a
message and terminates the program.

If you want to load a file of Scheme code and install an error handler by 
yourself, have a look at

SCM gh_eval_file_with_catch(const char *scheme_code, scm_catch_handler_t 
handler);

which lets you install a C function as an error handler.
