I'm stumped at the moment, so just to be sure on on track:

Are you certain that the crash occurs in scheme_signal_error() and not
with SCHEME_CAR() --- or, when you tried it, SCHEME_PAIRP()?

I ask because, if `tmp' is not a valid Scheme object, SCHEME_CAR() is
likely to crash by attempting to derefence the pointer. SCHEME_PAIRP()
will crash similarly. (SCHEME_NULLP() is diffrent; it merely compares
`tmp' to another pointer.)
