Hey there,

First off, thanks for the awesome scheme implementation,
I'm really digging it so far.

Here's my question:

On my Windows XP system, running gambit - 4.0 b20, I'm
having trouble with the following code:
**********************************************************
(let* ((p (open-process "C:/Program Files/GnuWin32/bin/cat.exe")))
       (display "1" p)
       (close-output-port p)
       (let ((bc (read-all p)))
    (pp bc)))

**********************************************************
I expect the output to always be:
(1)
but about 1/3 of the time I get:
()

I can't figure why this code would be inconsistent. The 'cat' implementation is (I think) a direct port of GNU cat. In any case I've had the same problem with other binaries that read from STDIN and write to STDOUT.

I've tried inserting calls to (newline), (force-output), using (write) or (write-char) instead of (display), all to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Aemon
