Hello,

	guile --version
	guile (GNU Guile) 2.0.9.20-10454

It seems that the par-map not using all cores problem has some how been reintroduced?

	guile -c '(begin (use-modules (ice-9 threads)) (par-map 1+ (iota 400000)))'

only uses 1 core [it seems it uses some other [maybe all, i can't tell] a couple of
milliseconds, then drops to 1 core only.

Thanks,
David
