Try to spell that over the phone :)

Almost there now. It works half ways the examples in a row, which is even
weirder if possible!?

It still signals the same error, so I assume the cause of the problem is
another eval-string in the following, equally strange helper:

    (define (symbolize id-candidate)
      (eval-string (string-append "'" (symbol->string id-candidate))))

The purpose of this function is to verify that the inputted symbol is really
interpreted as a symbol. It seems that the namespace devider ':' causes
sometimes problems and 'symbolize' have corrected the situation... until
now. It doesn't explain how it manages to get half ways, though...

Do you have any exotic dots left for this situation :)
