Didn't appear.  You might make sure you're not posting html.

Not me, but taking some wild guesses ...

It might want at least one arg (the program name).

Sounds like a problem within guile itself, though I wouldn't know
what.

You might try building with --with-threads=pthreads=no or null or
whatever it is, if that isn't what configure has chosen already.  I
think there were some recent problems with threads on mingw.  If you
do that make sure you rebuild guile-gtk against the changed guile, the
threads setting gets into the guile-gtk build.
