[Chicken-users] locale egg 0.5.1 broken?

[Alejandro Forero Cuervo]

I'm trying to use the format-modular egg (the bulk of which I wrote)
and I notice it's now dependant on srfi-29 which depends on locale.
Loading a recent version of locale is giving me this error:

        Call history:

        <syntax>                (use locale)
        <syntax>                (##core#require-extension (quote locale))

        <eval>          (##sys#require (quote locale))  <--

If I revert the locale egg to version 0.5.0, the problem goes away.

Any idea as to what the problem may be?

Unless this is fixed by then, in a week or so I'll remove the dependency on on
srfi-29 from format-modular until this is fixed, to keep software I've
authored, and on which I obviously depend, working.

Thanks!

Alejo.
