I think this is caused by a nameclash of the new macro `eval-when' in
ice-9/boot-9.scm:

  2001-02-13  Marius Vollmer  <address@hidden>

[snip]
          (eval-when): New macro.

and the form `eval-when' required by psyntax.ss, and defined in
ice-9/syncase.scm:

  ;;; The remaining exports are listed below:
  ;;;
[snip]
  ;;;   (eval-when situations expr ...)
  ;;;      conditionally evaluates expr ... at compile-time or run-time
  ;;;      depending upon situations (see the Chez Scheme System Manual,
  ;;;      Revision 3, for a complete description)


Workaround:
-----------

When replacing `eval-when' with `eval-when-11' in boot-9.scm, (ice-9
syncase) loads without error.  Don't know about the correct fix,
though.

Hope my little research helps.
