Guile returns a deprecation warning whenever mpb is executed. This occurs because since guile-1.8, the scm_must_malloc() function has been replaced by scm_gc_malloc().
In fact, scm_must_malloc just returns a pointer to the scm_gc_malloc function, so this problem could be solved by a very simple find/replace patch. A better solution would involve using the scm_effective_version() function to provide backward compatibility with guile-1.6.
