Do you get the shell prompt back?  If so, what does

    echo $?

show?

Alternatively, you can try to use a tool like strace (I don't know
what's the one for osx) to check what is going on.

Anyway, 4.4.0 is a quite old release.  If possible, please consider
using the latest release (4.7.0).  You can get it at
http://code.call-cc.org.

Best wishes.
