Interesting. I haven't heard this one before.

The stable branch has this bug as well.

I'd compare how x-set-car! is implemented in the two versions. Current HEAD: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/6f3fecdaa46e25b34...

stable: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/blob/stable/ac.scm#L12...

I suspect Racket's changed something in unsafe-set-mcar! during the move to Chez Scheme.

(Sorry I just saw this.)

There was a pull request by samth that fixed this on the main branch, though I guess no one's ever ported it to the stable branch: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/pull/183

Just after that, Racket introduced an easier way to fix this, `unsafe-set-immutable-car!`, specifically as a stable way to mutate the so-called immutable cons cells going forward. :) We should probably move to that.

I've opened an issue for it: https://github.com/arclanguage/anarki/issues/218
