==> segmentation fault
(project all) is a module that loads all of the prerequisites and submodules (about 4k lines total) and exports symbols. These steps happen in the directory 'project' containing ' main.scm' and 'foo.scm'.
I have two questions. Is there something intrinsically wrong with with setting the current module to the one on which I am actively working and then just reloading that file rather than the entire suite? ( I.e., there are usually a lot of testing steps between the 'set-current-module' form and the 'load' form; however, the steps above will always produce a crash.)
My second question is this: given that the answer to 1) is no, how do I track this pest down? Placing an undefined identifier, say 'x', at various points in one of the modules will sometimes produce the appropriate warning, sometimes produce a segfault, other times a bus error or illegal instruction or even an abort during gc. I have run attached to gdb, but I get a deep stack (131 frames) ending with, e.g.

Are there guile primitives to verify the heap?
_Any_ help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
