Hi,

Was anybody able to use the (open-process) command in Gambit4beta14 on 
the MinGW platform?

Here is an example:



----------------

(define p (open-process (list
                              path: "C:/msys/1.0/bin/ls.exe"
                              arguments: (list "/")
                              stderr-redirection: #t
                              pseudo-terminal: #t
                              )))

*** ERROR IN (stdin)@1.11 -- Can't convert result from C nonnull-pointer
(open-process
  '(path: "C:/msys/1.0/bin/ls.exe" arguments: ("/") stderr-redirection: 
#t p...)

---------------

It works well on MacOSX. I need a multiplatform way of calling a 
process with IO ports access.
open-process should be the way but it seems to be broken in that 
version.

Thank you,
Francois Magnan
