It seems that the latest release of the test egg is broken.  You can try
version 0.9.9.2, which is the last before the latest (alas, you'd need a
copy of the svn repo to find that out, since the version history in the
docs has not been updated).

To install 0.9.9.2 you can run:

    $ chicken-install test:0.9.9.2

I hope that helps.


Best wishes.
Mario
