Steve, this seems to be a readline issue on OS X. I ran into the same
problem recently and never did get it sorted out. See this thread for
details.
http://osdir.com/ml/bug-guile-gnu/2011-02/msg00140.html
As noted in the thread, my workaround was to remove readline from my
.guile file and use emacs+paredit+geiser when I need an interactive
session. That works pretty well, but, still, it would be nice to be
able to invoke guile from a terminal and have readline support.
Cheers,
Mike
