What does this expression evaluate to?  I.e., what is printed when you
type it it the "guile>" prompt?

I get, for example:

  guile> (define c-str "\"passwd\"")
  guile> c-str
  "\"passwd\""
  guile> (string-append c-str ", ")
  "\"passwd\", "
  guile>

which looks correct to me.  Maybe 'shellf' is to blame.
