Buffer overflow in the "read-u8vector!" procedure in the srfi-4 unit
in CHICKEN stable 4.8.0.7 and development snapshots before 4.9.1
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory
corruption and application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code
via a "#f" value in the NUM argument.
