Fwd: integer-sqrt problem in R7RS-small spec

[John Cowan]

I think this should become an erratum right away -- I see no reason not to do it.

Hi John.  I just noticed this bug in section 5.3.3 of R7RS-small:

(define-values (x y) (integer-sqrt 17))
(list x y) => (4 1)

The correct code should be calling the procedure exact-integer-sqrt .

Amusingly, Gambit defines integer-sqrt as a predefined procedure which returns a single result, so I couldn’t understand what was going on when testing this.
