stat:type in 1.3.4?

["Peter C. Norton" <spacey at lenin dot nu>]

I'm doing the following:

[spacey@twoflower perlfunc]$ ln -s / slashlink
[spacey@twoflower perlfunc]$ ls -laF
total 32
-rw-rw-r--   1 spacey   spacey       5813 Aug 26 17:08 -X.scm
drwxrwxr-x   2 spacey   spacey       4096 Aug 26 17:12 ./
drwxrwxr-x   3 spacey   spacey       4096 Aug 25 02:59 ../
lrwxrwxrwx   1 spacey   spacey          1 Aug 26 17:12 slashlink -> //

and then in guile 1.3.4:

guile> (define tlstat-vec (stat "./slashlink"))
guile> (stat:type tlstat-vec)
directory
guile> 

This seems to be contrary to how stat(2) works.

The changelog for 1.3.4 says:
1999-08-29  Mikael Djurfeldt  <mdj@thalamus.nada.kth.se>

        * acinclude.m4: Updated.  (Thanks to Karl Eichwalder.)
	
        * configure.in: Test for presence of S_ISLNK in sys/stat.h.
        (Thanks to Bernard Urban.)
        Test for memmove and bcopy.  (Thanks to
        suzukis@file.phys.tohoku.ac.jp.)
					
        * acconfig.h: Added HAVE_S_ISLNK.

But stat:type doesn't seem to use S_ISLINK?
