Hi,

The guts of the problem is an endless loop while reducing primitives:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(language tree-il primitives)> (make-call #f (make-primitive-ref #f 'make-vector) '())
$21 = #<tree-il (call (primitive make-vector))>
scheme@(language tree-il primitives)> (resolve-primitives $21 (current-module))
$22 = #<tree-il (primcall make-vector)>
scheme@(language tree-il primitives)> (expand-primcall $22)
$23 = #<tree-il (call (primitive make-vector))>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This is fixed in 51152392ef04b053e3c7b2576473df2df9d08fe0:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(language tree-il primitives)> (expand-primcall $22)
$32 = #<tree-il (primcall make-vector)>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks!

Ludo’.
