readline mysteriousness

[Guido Sohne]

In guile-1.6.3 evaluating the form below by pasting
it in from middle mouse button

(let ((x '((a b) c)))
  (cons (let ((x (cdr x)))
          (car x))
        (let ((s (car x)))
          (cons (let ((x (cdr x)))
            (car x))
          (cons (let ((x (car x)))
            x)
          (cdr x))))))

works fine. However if your .guile has the following in it

(define-module (guile-user))
(use-modules (ice-9 readline))
(activate-readline)

then all kind of wierdness goes on ...
