Hi, 

I encountered an error for handling some rational numbers in guile 1.8.8 on OSX lion, although it works correctly on CentOS release 6.2 (Final), with guile 1.8.7. It is something like

guile> (define a 1e-21)
guile> a
1.0e-21
guile> (define a 1e-22)
guile> a
5.36275828919226e-19
guile> (define a 1e-25)
guile> a
6.28575819193153e-19
guile> (define a 1e-26)
guile> a
1.0e-26

My system is as follows.
