Hi Guix,

I was trying to use `xdot` to view to output of `guix graph` (`guix 
graph bash | xdot -`). However, it crashed instantly with the following 
stack trace:

Using `guix time-machine` I was able to identify the regression commit 
as 2aeb9faa421635c0531d96658414e5bf288a3142 
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=2aeb9faa421635c0531d96658414e5bf288a3142> 
(when Ludo' updated it to 1.3). Using `xdot` within the time machine 
inside the parent commit works.

I've cc'd Ludo' and hopefully we can fix this!

Warmly,

Ada
