[William D Clinger]

Thank you for testing the release candidate.

I apologize for being so slow to respond.  I've been on vacation and away
from the Internet for a week.

I am unable to reproduce this problem.  After cloning your Crosstalk
repository and changing the "/home/kend/" in sis.scm to "/tmp/", all
tests passed with v0.99 (as shown in the attached temp1.txt).  With
the nightly build available this morning, which should be equivalent
to the nightly build you used because none of the source code changed
while I was away, the tests are run in reverse order and there are
three test failures (as shown in the attached temp2.txt), but I did
not get the "undefined global variable: make-error-string-predicate"
error you got.

Looks like you forgot to build the R7RS runtime as described in
http://www.cesura17.net/~larcenists/Nightly/doc/user-manual-alt.html#CompilingStdLibSection

I'll see if there's an easy way to generate an error message when
that happens.
