I ran it in a guile REPL (as root) and I got the first two outputs, but an error on (execl ...).  It's an unhelpful message:

    ERROR: In procedure execl:
    ERROR: In procedure execl: Permission denied

The backtrace just shows me the line that failed.

When I save it in a file and run that with guile as root I get this error after the first two output lines:

    Backtrace:
    In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
      157: 7 Exception thrown while printing backtrace:
    ERROR: In procedure private-lookup: Module named (system vm frame) does not exist

    ERROR: In procedure execl:
    ERROR: In procedure execl: Permission denied

That's all.
