Looking at the other calls to {{{err}}}, it looks like the simplest fix is to remove the string-append call and pass the message and character as separate arguments to {{{err}}}:

This bug was found by the scrutinizer, see http://tests.call-cc.org/master/linux/x86/2012/05/12/salmonella-report/install/spock.html

By the way, spock doesn't specify a version number in its .setup-file which means salmonella shows ""unknown"" in the list: http://tests.call-cc.org/master/linux/x86/2012/05/12/salmonella-report/"	defect	closed	minor		extensions	4.7.x	fixed
