Re: how to (activate-readline)

guile> (version)

Evaluating  (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) the first time will give
the correct error 
ERROR: readline is not provided in this Guile installation
ABORT: (misc-error)
Evaluating  (use-modules (ice-9 readline)) the seconde time will not
complain till (activate-readline) is evaluated
This may be an error in module system?

And why did readline work with guile 1.3.4 but not with newguile?
