I haven't pulled CVS, but if this crucial "fix" is simply:

$ diff -u $(find guile-1.6.7  guile-1.6.7-build -name guile.c)
--- guile-1.6.7/libguile/guile.c        2002-12-07 14:41:32.000000000 -0800

   scm_boot_guile (argc, argv, inner_main, 0);
   return 0; /* never reached */

then it would be "really nice" to bump out a 1.6 & 1.8 patch asap
and include any other more destabilizing fixes in a later patch.
Thanks - Bruce
