This is also where I stranded so far on Fedora 16, with test packages
for 
Guile 2.0 installed.

My guile knowledge is too limited to understand this well. The gnucash
code 
has a definition for the hash-table procedure. But this should only be 
triggered for guile 1.8 and older.

Guile 2.0 has its own definition of hash-table. Perhaps these
definitions are 
not compatible ? I mean, the gnucash guile code was written for guile
1.6 and 
1.8. So perhaps GnuCash interprets hash-table differently in terms of
1.8 
while the 2.0 definition may be slightly different ?

>From what I could read in the guile 2.0 manual it doesn't seem like
that.

Geert

according to the manual guile provides two types of hashtables one
"abstract" type and one vectorlike type. May be that mixing both types
was allowed in guile 1.8 but not longer in 2.0

In file html-style-info.scm a vector type table was created. The lines
for the abstract type are outcommented. May be that the hanging
hash-fold should be replaced by a construction similare to kvt-fold.???
