Super, thank you! FWIW, --disable-posix has two uses. One is to work around compilation failures, and the other is to decrease the "interface size" of Guile. But sometimes they are a bit entangled, which is the case for scm_getpid that might get removed when you're just looking to get around some compilation failure. Cheers, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
