First of all, thanks for your fast reply and the tremendous effort to find
and eleminate this bug.
But the error still seems to be present. With chicken-2.318, which is the
latest I get from svn, the sample program fails with an assertion in runtime.c 
at line 3278 in update_locative_table which seems to be the cause of the error
as you described.
Or is there another version or a simple patch around which I'm missing?

Thanks
Nico
