Description

This is quite problematic with the OpenSSL egg, it causes Chicken to segfault:

zsh: segmentation fault  csi

This is because read-string doesn't check if the port is closed. (in fact, if you try to read from the input port after leaving open the output port but closing the input port, it will return data anyway)

Attached is a testsuite for the procedures I was able to find which need to check, and a patch to make them behave correctly.

A few procedures even caused a *hang* when trying to read from closed ports!
