I have installed guile 1.8.7, guile-doc 1.8.7, and libguile17 1.8.7,
along with cygwin 1.7.7:

$ cygcheck -c cygwin guile guile-doc libguile17
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version        Status
cygwin               1.7.7-1        OK
guile                1.8.7-1        OK
guile-doc            1.8.7-1        OK
libguile17           1.8.7-1        OK

I have previously been able to install and start guile 1.8.2 without
error, but when I attempt to start guile 1.8.7, it fails immediately
with a Stack overflow error:

$ guile -q --debug --

This error is repeatable (the same error messages with the same line
numbers).  The same error occurs if guile is provided no command-line
options.

I can un-install version 1.8.7, install version 1.8.2, and start guile
without error.

Please let me know if there is some information that I can provide
that would help to diagnose the source of this problem.

Here are sha1sums of the files that I have downloaded and installed:
