Is this the raw text sent to TeXmacs, or was this read as a Scheme datum 
(using the version of the Guile parser TeXmacs was linked to) and then 
displayed?  The TeXmacs binary provided by Fedora 7 is dynamically 
linked to the distribution's version of Guile, while a statically linked 
TeXmacs binary would include the version of Guile installed on the 
computer on which it was compiled, possibly with a different parser.
