[Chicken-users] Bug in numbers egg version of expt

Subject: [Chicken-users] Bug in numbers egg version of expt
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:34:00 -0400
User-agent: Mutt/1.5.13 (2006-08-11)

When the numbers egg is loaded, the expressions (expt 27 1/3) and (expt
4/3 1/3), rather than returning inexact results 3.0 and 1.25992104989487
respectively, signal an error "Error: (even?) bad argument type -
not an integer - 1/3".  They are evidently dispatching to the exact
algorithm even though they should not: these cases should invoke the
flonum algorithm.
