Thanks, that's a bug.  It looks like the srfi module is behind the
core when used from --use-srfi.  I guess the `use-srfis' procedure in
boot-9.scm is to blame, but I don't how it ought to be.

A plain use-modules works; and guile 1.8 has the srfi-55
`require-extension' too, if you want something semi-independent of a
particular scheme.
