[snip revised patch]

I have not been following these patches and this may be completely
irrelevant, but if the context of these patches is the use of
gnutls-guile, then when I last looked (which was some time ago)
gnutls-guile ports were not suspendable. So a non-blocking
gnutls-guile port will still block when used with guile's suspendable
ports.
If I have missed the point please ignore this.
