Chicken by itself doesn't support ratnums. You'll need the
numbers egg to get the full numeric tower (including arbitrarily
large numbers and complex numbers).

Hello,
this looks strange. While CHICKEN does not support exact fractions out
of the box, reading a number

One way I can reproduce your problems is by loading but not importing
the numbers extension library, which adds support for arbitrary
precision arithmetic and exact fractions to CHICKEN:
Nice catch. A warning should be put in the numbers egg documentation

If I want to reproduce this, do I need to type in anything else?
It doesn't happen here.
After some experimenting, the statistics eggs seems to introduce some
peculiarity. Here's a session:

The only way to truly fix this is to add numbers to core; the way it
extends the reader is a bit of a hack and it doesn't truly replace
the procedures from the Scheme module. Even if it did, compiled code
often calls C functions directly which bypasses any overwriting the
