This page reports the results of the expressions `(letrec ((x 0) (y x)) y)` and `(letrec* ((x 0) (y x)) y)`.  The former is not defined (in R6RS, it must return an error) and the latter should always return 0, provided `letrec*` is supported (it is required by R6RS and R7RS, but not by earlier reports).  It also looks at
{{{
(let ((z 0))
  (define x 0)
  (define y x)
y)
}}}

which in R5RS and earlier is defined to be the same as the `letrec` version, and in R6RS and R7RS is defined to be the same as the `letrec*` version.

Note: UMB crashes with all these constructions.
