Hi,
When calling scm_shell() in a Guile's context, this sometime results in
a segmentation fault when initializing readline. This fault is
intermittent and I suspect a race condition since I have a second thread
doing things in Guile's context. Searching on the web have not gave
much.
I managed to catch the fault with ASAN. Here's the traceback:

Note that the readline module is loaded by my home configuration.
Anyone has encountered this fault before?
