 Log Message:
 chicken: Update lang/chicken to 4.13.0
 
 Patch provided by dziltener via PR pkg/52929, thanks!
 
 Changes:
 4.13.0
 
 - Security fixes
   - CVE-2017-6949: Remove unchecked malloc() call in SRFI-4 constructors
     when allocating in non-GC memory, resulting in potential 1-word
     buffer overrun and/or segfault (thanks to Lemonboy).
   - CVE-2017-9334: `length' no longer crashes on improper lists (fixes
     #1375, thanks to "megane").
   - CVE-2017-11343: The randomization factor of the symbol table was
     set before the random seed was set, causing it to have a fixed value
     on many platforms.
 
 - Core Libraries
   - Unit "posix": If file-lock, file-lock/blocking or file-unlock are
     interrupted by a signal, we now retry (thanks to Joerg Wittenberger).
   - char-ready? on string ports now also returns #t at EOF, as per R5RS;
     in other words, it always returns #t (thanks to Moritz Heidkamp)
   - Unit srfi-4: Fixed typo that broke SRFI-17 generalised set! syntax
     on s8vectors (thanks to Kristian Lein-Mathisen).
   - Large literals no longer crash with "invalid encoded numeric literal"
     on mingw-64 (#1344, thanks to Lemonboy).
   - Unit irregex: Fix bug that prevented multibyte UTF-8 character sets
     from being matched correctly (Thanks to Lemonboy and Chunyang Xu).
 
 - Runtime system:
   - The profiler no longer uses malloc from a signal handler which may
     cause deadlocks (#1414, thanks to Lemonboy).
   - The scheduler no longer indirectly hangs on to the old thread
     when switching to a new one, which caused excessive memory
     consumption (#1367, thanks to "megane").
   - C++ programs no longer fail with a symbol lookup error when
     compiled with debugger support (-d3 or -debug-info).
 
 - Syntax expander
   - Renaming an identifier twice no longer results in an undo of the
     rename (fixes #1362, thanks to "megane").
 
 - Build system
   - Fixed broken compilation on NetBSD, due to missing _NETBSD_SOURCE.
   - Fixed compilation on DragonflyBSD due to no feature macro support
     in its standard C library (thanks to Markus Pfeiffer).
 
 - Compiler
   - The scrutinizer no longer uses 'fixnum as the type for fixnums
     that might not fit into a fixnum on 32-bit architectures.
 
 - Foreign function interface
   - Correctly calculate memory requirements of Scheme objects produced
     from foreign types with "const" qualifiers, avoiding memory
     corruption (#1424, thanks to Vasilij Schneidermann and Lemonboy)
   - Do not read beyond temporary stack buffer, which could lead to
     a crash when returning from a foreign callback (#1428).
 
 4.12.0
 
 - Security fixes
   - CVE-2016-6830: Fix buffer overrun due to excessively long argument
     or environment lists in process-execute and process-spawn (#1308).
     This also removes unnecessary limitations on the length of
     these lists (thanks to Vasilij Schneidermann).
   - CVE-2016-6831: Fix memory leak in process-execute and
     process-spawn.  If, during argument and environment list
     processing, a list item isn't a string, an exception is thrown,
     in which case previously malloc()ed strings weren't freed.
   - CVE-2016-9954: Irregex has been updated to 0.9.6, which fixes
     an exponential explosion in compilation of nested "+" patterns.
 
 - Compiler:
   - define-constant now correctly keeps symbol values quoted.
   - Warnings are now emitted when using vector-{ref,set!} or one
     of take, drop, list-ref or list-tail with an out of range index
     for vectors and proper lists of a definitely known length.
   - The scrutinizer will no longer drop knowledge of the length of a
     vector.  It still drops types of its contents (which may be mutated).
   - Fixed incorrect argvector restoration after GC in directly
     recursive functions (#1317).
   - "Direct" procedure invocations now also maintain debug info (#894).
 
 - Syntax expander
   - DSSSL lambda lists have improved hygiene, so they don't need
     the chicken or scheme modules to be imported in full (#806).
   - The let-optionals* macro no longer needs "quote", "car" and "cdr"
     to be imported and bound to their default values (#806).
 
 - Runtime system:
   - C_locative_ref has been deprecated in favor of C_a_i_locative_ref,
     which is faster because it is inlined (#1260, thanks to Kooda).
   - The default error handler now truncates very long condition
     messages (thanks to Lemonboy).
   - Weak symbol GC (-:w) no longer drops random symbols (#1173).
   - The number of arguments to procedures, both via "apply" and direct
     invocation, are now limited only by the C stack size (#1098).
   - "time" macro now shows peak memory usage (#1318, thanks to Kooda).
   - Avoid crashes in ffi callbacks after GC (#1337, thanks to cosarara).
 
 - Core libraries:
   - Irregex has been updated to 0.9.5, which fixes matching of all "bow"
     occurrances beyond the first with irregex-fold (upstream issue #14).
   - Keywords are more consistently read/written, like symbols (#1332).
   - SRFI-39: When jumping out of a parameterized dynamic extent,
     "parameterize" now remember the actual values, so when jumping back
     in, they are restored (fixes #1336, thanks to Joo ChurlSoo).
     This was a regression caused by the fix for #1227.
 
 - Tools:
   - "chicken-install"
     - When installing eggs in deploy mode with "-keep-installed", eggs
       under the prefix won't unnecessarily be reinstalled (#1144).
     - Added new option "-no-install-deps" which inhibits automatic
       installation of dependencies, useful with "-prefix" (#1298).
