;; new-if....
With the new-if, things look good when the case is simple and it doesn't matter if the then-clause and else-clause get evaluated. Using the special form if, first the predicate will be evaluated and then the then-clause OR the else-clause. With the new-if procedure, all arguments will be evaluated first. This sqrt-iter will not progress to any result. Infinite loop.
