If I configure with --enable-char-size=1, I get the following error during `make check`. Happens in beta 20 and the new 22.

It's a problem with the test suite, not with the compiler/interpreter.

mix.scm expects the following code to error with "Heap Overflow":

(err (make-string (quotient max-size-in-bytes-plus-1 2)))

where

(define max-fixnum ##max-fixnum)

(define max-fixnum-plus-1 (let () (##declare (safe) (generic)) (+ max-fixnum 1)))

(define max-size-in-bytes-plus-1 (let () (##declare (safe) (generic)) (quotient max-fixnum-plus-1 32)))

It does if char-size is 4, but not when it's 1.
