I added to the todo list under 1.6 from what Nic Ferrier reported on
guile-user,

  - call-with-output-string seg faults if its port is closed, eg.
       (call-with-output-string close-port)
    What should happen?  Should this be an error, or should it be
    possible to get the string out of a closed string port?
    [Same situation in the cvs head.]


I don't know what call-with-output-string ought to do in this case,
but a segv is certainly not it :-).

Offhand, I'd guess some kind of exception would be in order.

        * strports.c (scm_call_with_output_string): scm_get_output_string
        rather than scm_strport_to_string, so as to guard against the port
        having been closed by the called procedure.

        * tests/ports.test (call-with-output-string): Test proc closing port.

        * scheme-io.texi (String Ports): In call-with-output-string, note proc
        should not close the port.  In get-output-string, note string must be
        gotten before closing the port.

This would be a candidate for the 1.6 branch too, if the solution
seems ok.

Yes, that looks good.  Please commit it if you have time.

Thanks.  After I hear back about the cygwin patch, and we do
whatever's needed, I'll start working on the release.
