Problem solved.  With this patch applied to cgi.scm in ttn's (www cgi)
module, uploading of binary data now works with Guile 1.8.

In the end it was simply a case of splitting each part into a header
section and value section using string-contains and substring rather
than match:prefix and match:suffix.

Thanks for all your help.
