Hello,
although I have to admit that I have not looked into those specific test
cases myself I would like to point out the following: Some UNRESOLVED
issues may be due to guile's garbage collection: You can not guarantee
that something gets collected, although you expect it to. The reason is
that guile scans the C execution stack for potential references to
objects. Some non-SCM values may irritate the gc and keep objects from
being collected. The two cases below might belong to such a category.
Probably we should clarify this issue in the names of the test cases.
Best regards,
Dirk Herrmann
