In my effort to test srfi-19 I have
written:

http://github.com/marcomaggi/nausicaa/tree/master/srfi/tests/test-time.sps

which shows errors when loading (srfi :19)
from Larceny into Larceny-5889.

My modified reference implementation:

http://github.com/marcomaggi/nausicaa/tree/master/srfi/libraries/srfi/time.sls

passes most of the tests (the wrong ones
are DATE->STRING with ~U and ~V escape
sequences, for which I still have to
understand exactly what the SRFI document
requires and if it conforms to what GNU
date prints).

I do not guarantee that my modified
implementation does the right thing, but
with some of the tests IMHO Larceny really
does the wrong thing.

Notice also:

http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-19/post-mail-archive/msg00029.html

I will stick with what the reference
implementation does...
