The same thing happens with Ubuntu Jaunty.  I Don't think it is Guile
failing.  It the test that caused problems:

    (open-input-pipe "read && echo $REPLY")

In Ubuntu and NetBSD, Bash is not the default shell, so "read" requires
an argument. From the /bin/sh shell (linked to /bin/dash):

$ read && echo $REPLY
read: 1: arg count

It works when popen.test is changed to do:

    (open-input-pipe "read line && echo $line")
