Hello again,

I don't know if GMail will top post. If it does, I apologize.

I observed the same error when I built chicken 4.11.0 using just MinGW
64-bit from the Windows command line (no MSys).

There were interesting differences. The csi built from MSys just hangs. The
one built without MSys runs but behaves strangely. Adding one digit to a
simple expression caused it to hang.

With numbers, (1.0 0.123456789 /) works but (1.0 0.1234567890 /) hangs.
Without numbers, all is well. I tried a bunch of things and am convinced
that adding that extra digit makes the difference. I built a small program;
it was also hanging. I reduced it down to that expression.

Using chicken built without MSys, I can install the numbers egg and my
program behaves normally until I use a number with 11 significant digits.

Is there a dot release after 4.11.0, like 4.11.1? If there is, I would like
to try it.

Thank you.
