[Chicken-hackers] Possible bug in buffer-ports egg?

[Simon Haines]

I think the buffer-ports egg incorrectly sign-extends bytes read from byte vectors that are greater than 127 and have the high bit set.

To reproduce:

(use buffer-ports)

(read-byte (open-input-port #u8(#x80))) ; => #x1FFF80

If this is not the expected behaviour, the attached patch changes this according to the included test case.

Regards,

Simon.
