Could you explain how if fails exactly?

Not really “easily” unfortunately.  It depends on the APIs you use.

There’s the R6RS API from (rnrs io ports), which is supposed to
magically do line ending conversion but doesn’t seem to work:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (make-transcoder (utf-8-codec) (eol-style crlf))
$13 = #<r6rs:record:transcoder>
scheme@(guile-user)> (transcoded-port (open-string-input-port "foo\n\rbar\n\r") $13)
$14 = #<input: r6rs-transcoded-port 60725b0>
scheme@(guile-user)> (get-line $14)
$15 = "foo"
scheme@(guile-user)> (get-line $14)
$16 = "\rbar"
scheme@(guile-user)> (get-line $14)
$17 = "\r"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But then there are things like ‘string-tokenize’ that do the right
thing:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (string-tokenize "foo\n\rbar\n\rbaz")
$18 = ("foo" "bar" "baz")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,
Ludo’.
