Dear guilers, When using with-output-to-string, the output of external processes started using system* and the like is not redirected to the temporary port. As far as I can tell, it just redirects things written/displayed from within guile. This seems to be a bug, or if this is intended behaviour it might be beneficial to document this somewhere.
As an example: I'd expect snippet [0] to behave like snippet [1] and return "bar", instead it just returns the empty string. This probably affects other similar functions. Pandemically, pinoaffe [0]: (with-output-to-string (lambda () (system* "echo" "bar"))) [1]: (with-output-to-string (lambda () (display "bar")))
