Perhaps the module that you are calling use-modules in has no binding
for `quote'.

This problem is fixed in 1.9, FWIW.

Is there anything I can do about that?  Would I have to redefine quote
in my top-level script?

Thanks for letting me know: unfortunately despite its reputation Fedora
is not quite "bleeding edge" enough for me ;)

Ah, thanks.

I'm afraid I think you're stuck.  The problem sounds like this one:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1000674/turn-off-buffering-in-pipe.
In which case, the only fix is to set up the "pipe" as a pseudo-terminal
instead, and I don't believe Guile can do that.

If you wanted to work on a patch, a possible starting point would be to
look at how Emacs implements

  (let ((process-connection-type t))
(open-network-stream ...))
