Hi Alírio,

And thanks for your perseverance!  :-)

I’ve finally reproduced the bug:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ LC_ALL=en_US ./meta/guile
Backtrace:
In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
 149: 2 [catch #t #<catch-closure f15920> ...]
 157: 1 [#<procedure eb10f0 ()>]
In unknown file:
   ?: 0 [catch-closure]

ERROR: In procedure catch-closure:
ERROR: Throw to key `decoding-error' with args `("scm_from_stringn" "input 
locale conversion error" 22 #vu8(47 104 111 109 101 47 108 117 100 111 47 115 
114 99 47 103 117 105 108 101 47 108 105 98 103 117 105 108 101 47 46 108 105 
98 115 47 103 117 105 108 101))'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I’ll work on a fix.

In the meantime, a workaround it to use a locale name that includes the
encoding, such as ‘en_US.UTF-8’.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
