I can see how one might easily typo "50" as "5", but it's
more curious when it's a "word-o" from "fifty" to "five".  ;-}  ;-}
Yes, the PDF version of R5RS was 50 pages:

    http://www.schemers.org/Documents/Standards/R5RS/r5rs.pdf

versus, as Kenny observed, 142:

    http://www.r6rs.org/r6rs_91.pdf

Still, the basic point stands: from 50 to 142 pages
in only one "revision" is... disturbing. (*sigh*)
