[Chicken-users] Bug in the numbers egg?

[Thomas Chust]

Hello,

consider the following example session:

$ csi
  _______   _     __
 / ___/ /  (_)___/ /_____ ___
/ /__/ _ \/ / __/  '_/ -_) _ \
\___/_//_/_/\__/_/\_\\__/_//_/

This result is apparently wrong. Nevertheless it has the correct 
magnitude. I wonder whether this is some kind of amplified rounding 
error or a more serious problem.

Any idea or work around is appreciated.

Thomas Chust
