I think I found a small bug in MIT-Scheme V7.0. Look at the following
transcript:

	1 ]=> (string->symbol "loadConst")

	;Value: loadConst

The resulting symbol consists of upcase und lowercase letters. It's a bit
disturbing if you look at these lines:

	1 ]=> (eq? (string->symbol "loadConst") 'loadConst)

	;Value: ()

	1 ]=> (eq? (string->symbol "loadConst") 'loadconst)

	;Value: ()

Any idea?

                                                   -Holger
