Interestingly, the first thread has you in (guile-user), but the second
has you in (guile). So you don't see the full definition of format, nor
do you see hug.

A workaround is to do:

	scm_with_guile(hug_me, "(begin (set-current-module (resolve-module '(guile-user))) (hug 2))");

instead of

	scm_with_guile(hug_me, "(hug 2)");

But it's quite ugly. Does anyone have any input as to what module should
be current when a thread previously unknown to Guile enters Guile?
