[Chicken-users] Conflict between simple-macros and other extensions?

[Raffael Cavallaro]

Using the latest 2.2 release, with (or without) the hash patch, if I  
compile the simple-macros egg and try to use it and, for example the  
posix extension, I get odd errors:

rafg5:/scheme raffaelc$ csi
  _______   _     __
/ ___/ /  (_)___/ /_____ ___
/ /__/ _ \/ / __/  '_/ -_) _ \
\___/_//_/_/\__/_/\_\\__/_//_/

Version 2, Build 2 - macosx-unix-gnu-ppc - [ dload ]
(c)2000-2005 Felix L. Winkelmann
#;1> (require-extension simple-macros)
; loading /usr/local/lib/chicken/simple-macros.so ...
#;2> (use posix)
; loading library posix ...
#;3> (current-directory)
Error: unbound variable: current-directory#top
#;3>

This all works fine if I don't load simple-macros:

rafg5:/scheme raffaelc$ csi
  _______   _     __
/ ___/ /  (_)___/ /_____ ___
/ /__/ _ \/ / __/  '_/ -_) _ \
\___/_//_/_/\__/_/\_\\__/_//_/

Version 2, Build 2 - macosx-unix-gnu-ppc - [ dload ]
(c)2000-2005 Felix L. Winkelmann
#;1> (use posix)
; loading library posix ...
#;2> (current-directory)
"/Users/raffaelc/Developer/scheme"
#;3>

or even if I load simple-macros.scm but not the compiled extension:

rafg5:~/Developer/scheme/tonder/www.het.brown.edu/people/andre/macros/ 
implementation/version 2.1 raffaelc$ csi
  _______   _     __
/ ___/ /  (_)___/ /_____ ___
/ /__/ _ \/ / __/  '_/ -_) _ \
\___/_//_/_/\__/_/\_\\__/_//_/

Version 2, Build 2 - macosx-unix-gnu-ppc - [ dload ]
(c)2000-2005 Felix L. Winkelmann
#;1> (load "simple-macros.scm")
; loading simple-macros.scm ...
#;2> (use posix)
; loading library posix ...
#;3> (current-directory)
"/Users/raffaelc/Developer/scheme/tonder/www.het.brown.edu/people/ 
andre/macros/implementation/version 2.1"
#;4>


BTW, it doesn't matter what order I load posix and the simple-macros  
extension - it's broken both ways.

Additionally, even with just the simple-macros extension loaded, the  
tests in simple-macros-tests.scm now fail, while they pass if I just  
load simple-macros.scm in the interpreter instead of using the  
compiled extension generated by the simple-macros egg.


Any thoughts? Or am I missing something I should have seen in the  
docs for simple-macros?
