Dear Linas,

Thank you so much!  I did indeed miss your earlier responses and I
appreciate your reaching out to me!

I downloaded the current guile code in git and will give it a try.  But,
given that this is not a stable release, I am not sure if we can really use
it for our purposes.

Do you or Ludovic know when a stable 2.2 version will be released?  From
stability point of you, would it be better to use a patched version of
2.0.11 that handles the case we noticed (e.g. don't attempt to remove items
from hash table if len = 0)?

Thanks,
Anand
