Hello,

yes, I know. I will apply the patch eventually but I have to / want to
disable the fixnum arithmetic declaration at the same time and insert
calls to fixnum specific procedures where appropriate.

Now, if I make these modifications I want to do it carefully,
especially changing all the arithmetic calls. But I simply haven't
gotten around to installing the experimental CHICKEN branch (usually I
only update to snapshot releases and I very much dislike git ...)  and
to updating the SQLite3 egg.

If you took the time to do that, I would be glad to accept an improved
patch :-)

Hmm, maybe a reduction of Earth rotation speed to prolonge my spare
time hours would be good? Or maybe some genetic modification to reduce
the necessary amount of sleep?


Ciao,
