Moreover, something really strange happens:

sams[132] scsh
Scsh 0.5
> (define p (open-input-file "incoming.spool"))
> ^Z
Suspended
sams[133] fstat incoming.spool 
USER     CMD          PID   FD MOUNT      INUM MODE         SZ|DV R/W NAME

... and no change.  This is now 0.35.3, BTW.

Also:

sams[135] tail -f incoming.spool 
Bus error (core dumped)
