Did people see my bug report on chicken-users regarding the environments
egg and eval? I posted in the "Re: [Chicken-users] Chicken 4.8.0 release
candidate 4 now available" thread on 2012/09/18.

----------
Another was segfaulting and continued to segfault on 'load'. I narrowed
it down to this repro case in the interpreter:

-----
#;1> (use environments)
#;2> (define widget-eval-env (make-parameter (environment-copy
(scheme-report-environment 5) #t)))
-----

Using Mortiz's rewrite branch of the environments egg:
https://anonymous:@code.call-cc.org/svn/chicken-eggs/release/4/environments/branches/rewrite/
... stops the segfault.

I can get a binary out but it throws an exception somewhere it didn't
used to:

-----
unbound variable
##sys#list
-----

...and my debugging efforts so far point to a problem with eval and an
environment from the environments egg.
