Well, CLISP is known for its deterministic but chaotic segfaults (i.e. sensitive to the slightest perturbation in input), probably due to some GC bug somewhere, which would explain your failure.
Interestingly, I experience a different failure using GNU CLISP 2.49.60+ (2017-06-25) on NixOS 18.09.1228.a4c4cbb613c, I instead get: TEST ABORTED: POSIX:COPY-FILE: illegal keyword/value pair :METHOD, :RENAME in argument list. The allowed keywords are NIL This suggests that uiop/filesystem:rename-file-overwriting-target has bitrotten on the latest CLISP. Any volunteer to fix that in a backward-compatible way? I'll pass. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org We must do away with all newspapers.
