Guile tries to convert characters to the encoding of the corresponding 
output port.  If this isn't set correctly, the characters will appear 
garbled.  (In particular, when trying to print UTF-8 data to stdout with 
Guile 2.0.x you have to set the output port encoding explicitly to UTF-8 
even in an all-UTF-8 locale.  This has been fixed in Guile 2.2.x.)

This wouldn't be rendered correctly because libgedacairo interprets "\_" 
as an overbar marker.

The reported PCB crash is actually a combination of two bugs:
* gnet-pcbfwd.scm shouldn't generate output which PCB can't handle
* PCB shouldn't segfault even if given malformed commands

Porting gschem to a recent GTK version would mean losing multi-key hotkeys 
and tear-off menus (as discussed in the past).
