It could of course be the new GC scheme and not a bug in your code.
A few days ago, I checked in GC without disabling the new GC scheme.
The effect was that there was a gap of a day or two with a pretty
serious GC bug in the CVS Guile.
Since I now have pretty good faith in the GC code, I have left it
enabled.
But you could always try compiling Guile with GUILE_NEW_GC_SCHEME
disabled...
