On one machine, but not on another of mine (though they're similar amd64 machines with Intel i5 CPUs running Ubuntu 14.04), running guile --version hangs (either from the Ubuntu 2.0.9 or 2.0.11 packages). I tried building 2.0.11 from source, and got the same result: it hangs:

I also tried building git master head. The same command which hangs at 100% CPU when building 2.0.11 segfaults (I get a similar segfault building head on my other machine).

It therefore seems that it's easier to track down this particular problem in 2.0-stable.
