Great. In the meanwhile i worked around the problem.
As i knew the size of the array of char*, i introduced a new
helper-procedure `word-at` which delivered the char* at
the specified index.
This procedure was then used to accumulate the words
inside an ordenary scheme-procedure using  `word-at`.

I'll replace this once i update chicken.
