DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, DAMN, I DID A MAKLAP1 (from ALJABR;COMPLR >)
on RAB;OUTMIS >, and the cretin FASL-CLOSEOUT went and did a RENAMEF
on one of the files loaded into it by FASLOAD. CRETIN FASLOAD STILL
CLOBBERS DEFAULTF! And why does it matter to the compiler, anyway,
asuming that is how it got screwed up, can't it remember what file's what,
and do the RENAMEF on the open file-object??? I had to re-create my
file, which was painful, since renaming to something unknown is as bad
as deleting it! (particularly when the thing unknown is OUTMIS UNFASL !)
I'd never have found this except for it bombing when it tried to rename
my newly-created version to be the same name as the old version had been
clobbered to, and lost!
