:)

It should be "rogue pointer in heap", but has been shifted around due
to misuse of the arguments of the error reporting routine.

It means that there is a pointer in the heap which points out of the
heap. This is usually due a bug in user C code which introduces a
non-scheme value in th car or the cdr of a lisp cell, but it could of
course be a Guile bug, so please keep us informed.
