[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Suppose I start guile to listen on a unix socket /tmp/guile like so:

$ guile --listen=/tmp/guile

When I quit guile, the socket file still remains. The next time I start
guile to listen on /tmp/guile, guile errors out with the following
error. It would be better if guile deleted the socket file on quitting.
