Yes, even if I compile the program, the compiled program hangs.  I tried
tracing syscalls, but it doesn't seem to help.

I rewrote the program as this (so the program will attempt to open
itself):

    (open-input-file "test.scm")
    (open-input-file "/dev/tty.uart-AEFF467AF9D70234")

Compiled like this:

    $ csc -O0 -static test.scm

And trapped all the system calls:

    $ sudo dtruss ./test 2> out.log

Here is the log file I produced:

It seems the compiled binary can open the `test.scm` file, but I don't
see an open syscall for the tty.  What else can I do to debug this?

Thanks.
