I already encountered the memoization bug and dealt with it by... hum... <slow voice> delaying the starting of the thread so that the same code is never memoized several times simultaneously </slow voice> and it worked so far. That's why I believe this is a different problem. But yes, we are actually transitioning to guile2.
