The log is a raw console log, full of banners, slightly wrong versions of
the test code (it so happens that I start with Racket, but I often end
up needing to rewrite the code as I go, for example to use (/ 0.0 0.0)
instead of +nan.0), and other difficulties.  The most frequent problem
has been failing to see a particular Scheme altogether, as in this case,
rather than misinterpreting what it told me.

In short, my skipping over Chibi had nothing to do with #t versus #f.
Before I added the comment blocks, I frequently ended up with several
Schemes overlooked and had to visually scan the log (which is not saved
in a transcript file normally) to find them.
