Good.

Just note that you could also have checked out the 2.4 branch to get the fix. 
This is what will be used to create the upcoming 2.4.5 release and generally 
should be more stable since trunk has been reopened for unstable development 
again. For production the 2.4 branch is clearly recommended over trunk.

Indeed. Trunk has moved to guile 1.8 recently and no longer supports guile 
1.6.
