So, the 2003-11 snapshot has no problem with "NIL fell through", but
the 2003-12 snapshot does? Ok, I see that between the two, there was
a change by Gerd in memf-test-converter, exactly where Ole posted his
fixes.
So, I think Ole fix is probably right, or close enough, anyway.
Jan> Thanks. I didn't know about the entry in parms.lisp. After adjusting it
Note that this has changed in the CVS sources for Linux/x86 and
Solaris. You should only need to change the value in parms.lisp now.
I'd change it for other platforms as well, but someone would need to
test that change.

Very nice! Pierre Mai's scripts do a good job, and I'm glad the
documentation is good enough for you to figure out how to do this.

Yes, something that I've noticed but have been too lazy to fix. I'll
fix that when CVS comes back.

Noticed that too, and always just selected the restart about returning
NIL from load. I'll look into fixing the cross-compile script not to
expect PCL since we're not building with PCL.
