Please forget about this comment. This is just what I wanted to start with
you writing guile servers: You try implementing something -> Miss
something -> Me is going to fix it.

Most of the builtin servers use the miscelleanous field of the
"svz_socket_t" in order to remember socket specific things. Just
implemented (and checked into CVS) this for Guile. It is called
(svz_sock:data sock data) where "data" is optional. The procedure returns
any previously set value. Now I hope this will work. (I guess you
just want to remember previous lines in order to evaluate multi-liners ?)

One more comment for the eval-server: The (module (ice-9 safe)) is not
part of "guile-1.4" and it there is no (object->string). But there should
be some replacement... Thus I could not really test your eval-server, but
it seems pretty anyway.
