Unable to start Edwin "system-call-error": Bad address (also shown when debugging)

[Cuong Dang]

Hi everyone,

I'm running macOS Big Sur 11.1 on a MacBook Air M1 and encountering this error while trying to start Edwin in Terminal. I installed `mit-scheme' with Homebrew on the x86-64 architecture with Rosetta 2.

If I try to run `mit-scheme --edit`, Edwin will be unable to start and `mit-scheme' will just start in the REPL environment. If in the REPL environment, I try to run `(edit)', the following error is shown.

1 ]=> (edit)

;Loading Edwin...

;The port #[textual-input-port 12 for file: "/usr/local/Cellar/mit-scheme/10.1.11/lib/mit-scheme-x86-64/optiondb.scm"] signalled an error #[condition 13 "system-call-error"]:

The primitive channel-read, while executing the read system call, received the error: Bad address.

;To continue, call RESTART with an option number:

; (RESTART 1) => Return to read-eval-print level 1.

2 error> 

To circumvent this error, I'm running `mit-scheme' with `xscheme' in Emacs. However, when I try to debug a piece of code, this error also appears in the debug stack.

Thanks for looking into this!
