Thanks anyway for the explaination for the gdb problem.  I hadn't
gotten around to trying to fix it.  The seek in the ptob probably
doesn't need to be set for string ports, but scm_fseek/scm_ftell
should be generalised to work with any kind of port.  I'll do it soon.

There was an omission from ports.c:scm_newptob; it should include:

      scm_ptobs[scm_numptob].seek = ptob->seek;

Without this, read/write fports are broken too.
