This is not a fatal problem.  I mean this _should_not_be_ a fatal problem.
It means that autogen will store temporary strings on disk instead of
in memory.

Ick.  Nothing I can do tho.  However, a config test ought to be cooked up
to detect the broken guile library so something more comprehensible
than a seg fault tells you what is wrong.  I've always hated those you-get-
a-seg-fault-on-error error messages.

Anyway, thank you Brian and Aaron for letting me know what is going on.
