 chicken (master -- e5f341a81cb2d5b8c4f7d8eedabcd35c1ecb7281) dies with a
 segmentation fault when attempting to compile the attached file
 (srfi-14-test.scm).

 While compiling, it uses more than 2GB of RAM. It crashed after running
 for more than 9 minutes on a 2.4GHz processor.  The system is Linux x86.

 I tried building chicken with DEBUGBUILD=1 and running it under gdb, but
 it didn't crash in more than 10 hours, when I stopped it (it was still
 using 2GB of RAM).
