procedure-source inconsistency

Hello,

The built-in 'procedure-source' changes its output in procedures calling 'let' 
after the procedure in is applied. For example "(define (f) (let ((x 3)) x)) 
(procedure-source f)" returns '(lambda () (let ((x 3)) x))
But "(begin (f) (procedure-source f))" returns '(lambda () (let* ((x 3)) x))
When we were using procedure-source to store a procedure to file, it was not 
correctly compared to a newly created identical procedure because a let had 
been transformed to a let*. In summary, the problem here is that 
procedure-source is not consistent for the same function when called at 
different times.

I'm running guile 1.8.1 on Debian Etch, linux 2.6.18.
