I don't know the answer, but I am interested in this issue insofar as it
leads to Debian packages being uploaded.

I noticed that Aubrey Jaffer announced slib3a4 last week on
comp.lang.scheme. 

<http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.scheme/browse_thread/thread/92643dff8fec8c4d/1868e4ba976844c2?>

The news includes:

  From Kevin Ryde

    * guile.init: Fixed line-i/o in Guile >= 1.8. 

Is this the fix which packagers have been waiting for?

cheers,
