Hello,

apparently all CHICKEN development snapshots from version 4.1.4 onward
have some bug in the interaction between macro expansion and compiler
optimizations: I noticed this when I recompiled the postgresql egg and
saw that any attempt to create a database connection that was
successful at the C level resulted in an "unbound variable: r2373"
error on the CHICKEN side, but after recompiling the egg with
optimization level 1 instead of 2 the problem went away. Some other
eggs are also affected.

Unfortunately I was not able to produce a minimal code example that
triggers this problem, yet :-(

Ciao,
Thomas
