Comment:

 The solution is to declare the C function prototypes, e.g. declare them in
 a header and include it in the scm, or declare them inline.  Despite the
 fact that the foreign-lambda looks like it declares the signature, chicken
 still assumes the return value will be an int unless it has the C function
 prototype.  (This is still a bit of an annoyance, IMO.)
