Just for grins, try this patch and let me know.
There is no reason why ``string-upcase'' should not be found,
but on the other hand, in this context, ``string-upcase!'' won't hurt.
If it works, I'll apply it and distribute immediately.  Thanks!
(p.s. the Guile folks may want to know what version seems to
have the ``string-upcase'' function missing.  Should I add it to
my own library??  I guess that *is* another workaround....)

Thanks.  I applied this.
