Well, manuals lie and bugs exist. :-) The CFFI test suite has found quite a few implementation bugs. On the other hand, we want to ensure that all supported implementations have the same brehaviour. It'd be nice to have. > From reading other posts in the thread, it does seem that Allegro CL > is the outlier.

If we can ensure that the GC does /not/ block it'd be nicer. -- Luís Oliveira http://kerno.org/~luis
