Well, it seems you're not making use of the lexical variables you 
define. For example:

   (shen/let NewHistory 
             (shen/shen\.update_history NewLineread History) 
             (shen/let Parsed 
                       (shen/fst NewLineread) 
                       (shen/shen\.toplevel Parsed)))))))

Here you create the `NewHistory' variable, but don't make use of 
it within the scope of the `shen-let'.

Similarly, there are things like:

   (shen/let Record 
             (shen/shen\.record-source V13163 KL) KL))))

where `Record` is not used within the relevant scope, and:

   (shen/let NewVector 
             (shen/vector 
              (shen/- Limit 1)) 
             (shen/shen\.tlv-help V14674 2 Limit 
                                  (shen/vector (shen/- Limit 
                                  1))))))))

where `NewVector' is not used within the relevant scope, and so 
on.

So, why are you binding variables you don't make any use of after 
the initial binding?
