Perhaps, but I just type "make" then "make install" then "scheme"
and I get "lambda: wrong number of arguments"  I commented EVERYTHING
out of initscheme.scm, and got the same thing with define or set!
(I don't exactly remember which) in toplevel.scm Haven't done any
dumping yet that I know of, however, I did see the text segment
stuff in the config file, and I hope copying the FreeBSD stuff was
at least real close.

That may well be it.  I'll recompile without the -O2 flag given to gcc and
see what happens.  Do you know which file had the problem?
