Hi Paulo,
It works fine for me.
DrScheme, version 369.8-svn2mar2007 [3m], Windows XP home.

(((((lambda(x)((((((((x x)x)x)x)x)x)x)x))
    (lambda(x)(lambda(y)(x(x y)))))
   (lambda(x)(x)x))
  (lambda()(printf "Greetings, Jos~n"))))

  Hello all,

  I'm working on DrScheme 369.8-svn28feb2007 (which is pretty recent). I
  wonder if this is a bug, and if yes if it has been fixed already or if
  it is just me doesn't what I'm not supposed to.
  (module test mzscheme

    (define myeval
      (lambda (datum)
        "buu"))

    (current-eval (lambda (x) (myeval (syntax-object->datum x))))

    )

  I get:
  syntax-object->datum: expects argument of type <syntax>; given
  (current-namespace (module->namespace 'test))

  Since docs say:
  (current-eval [proc]) gets or sets a procedure that takes an
  expression -- in the form of syntax object, S-expression, compiled
  expression, or compiled expression wrapped in a syntax object -- and
  returns the expression's value (or values; see section 2.2).

  I guess that applying syntax-object->datum to x would always work.
