know that date and time calculations are amazingly complex.)

For example, under Chibi Scheme:

 <#cb1-1>> (modified-julian-day->date (date->modified-julian-day
(current-date))) <#cb1-2>ERROR on line 987 of file
/usr/local/share/chibi/srfi/srfi-19.scm: invalid type, expected
Integer: 34978003231524167275/21

Aha, but it works under Gauche:

 <#cb1-1>> (modified-julian-day->date (date->modified-julian-day
(current-date))) <#cb1-2>#<date 2022/10/13 10:33:24.215952000
(-25200)>

I've filed a bug.

Thanks.
