The *portable* and upstream version of irregex is at
http://code.google.com/p/irregex/
The in-tree version we have for Chicken is hacked up for performance,
so it is no longer portable.

I think this is probably a huge red herring; the equal? code you
mentioned does seem to have an off-by-one error.  Have you tried just
returning true instead of the assignments and "goto loop;" at the end?
