(system cmd) not working after slib

[Scott Walck]

Gentle guile users,

I wonder if one of you could help me.  I am thrilled to find that use
of (ice-9 slib) has been improved in guile 1.8.3.  I am confused about
its behavior, though.  The (system) command works fine before I load
slib.  After I load slib, guile no longer understands what "system"
means.

(system "ls")                ; works
(use-modules (ice-9 slib))   ; works
(system "ls")                ; no longer works

I enclose a short transcript below.  Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott Walck
