Hi,

festerdam <at> posteo.net skribis:

> The following code results in a segmentation fault on Guile
> 3.0.8-deb+3.0.8-2 (obtained from the Debian repositories):
>     (string-ref "my string" -3)

I can reproduce it with 3.0.8, where I get this backtrace:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (string-ref "my string" -3)

Thread 1 "guile" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Fortunately, this was fixed recently in

Thanks!
