$ csi -version
CHICKEN
( c)2000-2007 Felix L. Winkelmann, (c)2008 The CHICKEN Team
Version 6.0.0pre3 (rev 064763e1)
linux-unix-gnu-x86-64 [ 64bit dload ptables ]


utf8->string seems to stop after 3 characters.

$ csi -e '(import (scheme base)) (display (utf8->string (string->utf8

$ csi -e '(import (scheme base)) (textual-port? (current-input-port))'
Error: unbound variable: textual-port?
