Marius,
MV>However, Guile should not crash. Can you give more details about
MV>your version of Guile, and the system you are running it on?
It appears now to be a problem with Guile version 1.3, across several OS
and platform combinations (Linux and Solaris, x86 and Sparc). Guile 1.3.4
handles pipes.scm just fine. So, the mystery is solved, except for why it
is broken in Guile 1.3. Thanks!
MV>That is, there are some errors in your usage of `string'.
It appears that Guile 1.3.4 accepts both strings and characters as
arguments to (string ...). However I see that the R5RS specifies that
string operates on characters only, and that in Guile 1.4, this is
enforced.
Humbly,
Andrew
