Chickens's fixnum on 32bit platform, to be precise.

But that doesn't matter much.

(Letting alone, that other Schemes will display 1219068469 without ".0";
wich, according to R5RS are both ok.)

The point is the trouble is there, SRFI-19 date->string should print
without ".0" - it really disturbs, if used in HTTP/SMTP headers and the
like.  For the time being, I'm using string-index-right and substring to
get rid of it.  Something, which works, but it leaves a bad feeling in
the stomach.  I had no better idea, sorry.
