chicken-install throws an internal error in HEAD

[Jim Ursetto]

Hello esteemed team leader.

I am having a reproducible error pulling down the sql-de-lite egg from either mirror, which I have tracked down to commit 7bd92ff78681ddee949441114bcc8bd6bd6a4284.
The symptom is below:

$ chicken-install -n -l http://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/henrietta.cgi sql-de-lite
retrieving ...

Error: (=) bad argument type - not a number: #f

Something in that commit 7bd92ff78 is causing the error; the parent commit works. I have to assume it is an interaction between TCP and the new flonum milliseconds stuff. I am using experimental HEAD (c6d6f125c1eed52dd9e8540fc4454eea95472b09) which still has this issue. Some other eggs I've tried seem to work, so perhaps this is because sql-de-lite is transferring 4MB.

Unfortunately I haven't tracked down the exact cause yet, but hopefully this will help.

Hello esteemed team leader.

Very funny.

Thanks, it should be fixed in experimental f9c40d5.
