Thanks. That worked (well, I had to change it in posix.c also, since I 
didn't have a working chicken with which to compile posix.scm). 
current-environment is not that important to me, so I should be able to 
get by until this problem is worked out. What references did you find? 
I couldn't find anything useful by googling. The man page for environ 
doesn't seem to indicate anything out of the ordinary.

Well, so far it seems to build, csi runs, and "make test" works fine 
without chicken being configured using "--disable-shared". What didn't 
work before? I can test it if you'd like. I'm running Jaguar (10.2.6, 
build 6L60).

Thanks for all the help,
