That reminds me: in posixunix.scm the read-line code sets some slot number 5. I was unable to figure out what this was for. It seems to update it to the current position in the buffer while it's scanning and then resets it to 0 at the end, but this isn't used anywhere I could see. Because it looks like it's unused and no other port seems to have or use a slot 5, I just removed it. Please let me know if this is a mistake!
