Thank you for looking into this!

Something like this patch is in CHICKEN 4.11.1:

https://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=chicken-core.git;a=commitdiff;h=0d20426c6da0f116606574dadadaa878b96a68ea

And there is a patch for the IrRegex bug after the latest tag:

https://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=chicken-core.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c419f18138c17767754b36d3b706cd71a55350a

Can you try updating CHICKEN and applying that IrRegex patch?
