This reports my experience with CMUCL 19a-pre3 on a Debian Woody x86
system (glibc 2.2.5, XFree86 4.1.0.1, Lesstif 0.93.18, OpenMotif
2.1.30).

I have dumped two images, one with McCLIM built from recent CVS
sources, and another with the CLIM Listener included with McCLIM.
Both images work fine, but compilation of the latter, understandably,
stopped with the following package locking issue in cmu-hacks.lisp
(the only restart that works is UNLOCK-ALL):

I am Cc:ing this message to the McCLIM list. I have also tried my
favorite stress test with the listener:
(time (clim-listener::com-show-class-subclasses t))
It takes around 1.5 seconds on my 2.8 GHz Pentium IV. I *seem* to
remember that the time was a few tenths of a second less with CMUCL
18e.

Thanks to you for the great work. I closely follow the development of
CMUCL, but the summary of new features in the release notes is
impressive. Kudos to the CMUCL developers.
