Thank you for that information! If that's the case, than I have two
questions about 3.99:

1) How stable is 3.99? I've seen a few segfault reports on the mailing
list, which would suggest that it might be too soon for us to consider
upgrading.

2) Assuming we have ~2000 lines of C++ code using the 372 3m API, and
~100,000 lines of Scheme code using the mzscheme language, what would
be involved in upgrading to 3.99? We're definitely not interested in
moving to R6RS any time in the next 6 months.

I've poked around the website a bit, but I haven't found a "porting to
3.99" document yet.

Thank you for any pointers you can provide!

Cheers,
Eric
