    After creating an init file under the new naming scheme, any attempt to
    start up a lisp job results in

    GC CALLED FROM ALLOC - LOSE, LISP IS DEAD

    and a .VALUE at 123444.
------
Did you remmeber to include an ALLOC comment at the beginning of a file?

If not, when LISP READ's the first form, it could be a large one, thereby
causing a GC (etc...).  You must have a (COMMENT) as the first thing in
an init file even when you don't wish to do any allocations.
