Good, that is helpful to know.

Ahhh... sorry, I didnt make this clear I guess. I am not
running on 64 bit - this is on bog standard 32 bit i386 Unix.
Which is where it should work fine. But if it works fine on
your machine then that indicates a problem with the FreeBSD
port of something or other I guess. Which helps a lot as it means
I am not trying to get something running which is simply broken.

Debugging by friction :-) I might have a go at that later - am finding
this one of the few occasions where I am actually hindered by being
an electronic systems engineer rather than a computer scientist. tring
to teach myself the lambda calculus in half an hour is a lot harder than
I had imagined! Knowing this seems to be a pre-requisite to learning
Scheme, and that seems to be a pre-requisite to learning guile; which is
a pre-requisite to understanding the test framework. :-)
