   [rebuffering weirdness w/ popen + test case]

   Is this the desired behavior?

older versions of guile did not separate fdes and port handling properly
when doing pipe operations.  guile-1.4.1.8 DTRT, for example.  to try:

 wget http://www.glug.org/tmp/2002-08/guile-1.4.1.8.tar.gz
 tar xzf guile-1.4.1.8.tar.gz
 cd guile-1.4.1.8 && ./configure --prefix /tmp/a/b/c && make install
 alias guile=/tmp/a/b/c/bin/guile

i believe 1.5.x works too, but i don't recommend that for other reasons.
