Indeed, good catch.  Here’s how I reproduced it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(gdb) guile (use-modules (gdb))
(gdb) guile (history-append! (make-value 42))
1
(gdb) p $1
$2 = 42
(gdb) guile (gc)
(gdb) p $1
Segmentation fault
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What about adding this to the patch as a test case?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
