I am willing to do this, and I have done this in the past for other 
problems.

Can you recommend a debugger that will give me accurate information on 
sparc-solaris2.9 or x86-linux?  (I just backed out the special cctools 
that are needed on powerpc-darwin because I couldn't seem to build 
something I needed from fink on MacOS X.)

One thing that makes it a bit difficult is that I can only tickle the 
bug when I compile the complete Scheme file into one C function; when I 
compile each Scheme function to one C function then it doesn't break in 
the same way.
