   Almost always when I use a "used" compiler to compile a file
   (i.e., one that has already compiled some other file), the
   result has gibberish in many of the list-structure parts
   in the FASL.
I am thankful this has never happened to me as in the course of 
compiling for MACSYMA, I have used the same loading of COMPLR 
to compile many MACSYMA source files for over 6 years now.  
Maybe the fact that I call (INITIALIZE) between source file 
compilations has saved me, I don't know.  JONL, since you maintain 
COMPLR, have you tracked down the phenomenon you describe?
