Consider the following code:

--- prog1.scm ---

(define (main args)
   (let ((a1 (vector "object" #f))
         (a2 (vector "object" #f)))
     (vector-set! a1 1 a2)
     (vector-set! a2 1 a1)
     (display (equal? a1 a2))
     (newline)))

--- prog1.scm ---

If you run the program from Guile REPL an error message "Stack overflow" 
is printed and the execution is terminated. If you run the program from 
the shell with command 'guile -e main -s prog1.scm' nothing at all is 
printed. IMHO an error message should be displayed in the latter case, too.

I use Guile version 3.0.10 in Debian stable.
