Beware that chickens > 4.8.0 have a bug in the scheduler that affects
Linux.  See
http://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=chicken-core.git;a=commit;h=2a9696691c2792f981f0adfd46208d419eaad867
for more information.

The fix for that issue will probably be available in 4.8.0.3 soon.

Best wishes.
Mario
