Yes.  The with-timeout test script I sent a few emails ago passes if the 
latest 1.8 branch guile is compiled without threads.  I guess either signal 
handling or sleep is somehow different when threading is enabled.

They're taking a while to run, but so far all my other tests are also 
passing in mono-threaded guile 1.8.5
