The root cause of this bug is that gwave is long unmaintained and is
built with obsolete quile-1.8, whereas the rest of the system, and in
particular guile-gnome2-glib is built with quile-2.0.

When rebuilding gwave from source I'm getting the very same core dump
behavior. The right thing to do is to upgrade gwave to use quile-2.0,
avoiding quile-1.8 completely, also quile-1.8 is being obsolted
upstream.

On top of that gwave autoconf (configure.ac) is not well written in
relation to up to date version of guile-gnome2 , so cleaning up that
area would help a lot as well.
