[Chicken-hackers] [PATCH] Fix crash in vector-resize when making vectors smaller

[Peter Bex]

Hi all,

While working on something else I noticed that if you supply the
resize-vector with a smaller target vector size than the current
vector, it will cause a crash with paranoid checks enabled (DEBUGBUILD=1).

Attached is a simple patch + test.  The ##sys#grow-vector calls in
library.scm itself really only increase the vector size, so we could
leave it in, but I think the performance benefit is neglible compared
to the maintenance overhead of having two vector resizing operations.

I strongly recommend adding this to the stability branch.

Cheers,
Peter
