Hello, This was originally rewritten in C for a speed boost--the Scheme implementation was about 16x slower (9x in unsafe mode). However, I have now reimplemented it in nearly pure R5RS Scheme, and the performance is on par with C. It skips invalid input to better conform to the standard, and it has a test suite so hopefully we won't experience any more issues. This change is only in Chicken 4.
