[Chicken-users] tcp-*-timeout in types.db incorrect?

[Jörg F . Wittenberger]

I made chicken print out funny logic!

given tcp-accept-timeout set to #f I've seen the code taking the path
supposed to be called with a number.  (See my recent message
http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/chicken-users/2011-08/msg00074.html
where I "fixed" the problem by passing the value through "identity".)

Now with the latest changes to types.db the trick is broken.

Which is a good thing, because I know now what to watch for.

Having gotten the problem back on top I inserted my famous "debug"
procedure into the code.  I printed the value and a test.  The value
(by the name "tma" here) was found to be #f and the test
"(and  (number? tma) (> tma 0))" would print #t !!!

I circumvent the issue at this time by explicitly testing
"(not (eq? tma) #f)" instead of just "tma".

But I guess the correct fix would be in types.db, since tcp-*-timeout
don't convert a #f argument into anything else, the result would need
to list the possible boolean value too, shouldn't it?
