Doesn't look internal to me, looks like an error at the use site of 'format'. I think the error message can be reworded a bit to make it clearer: format: The format string is incompatible with the passed arguments. relevant part of format string: "~f" invalid argument: invalid expected: a number destination: #f format string: "~f" format arguments: (invalid) [no error args, because that would be redundant] Greetings, Maxime.
