In Maclisp, with STRING loaded, (SYMBOLCONC "FOO" "BAR") gives a circular
. . .
This is entirely and wholly due to a buggy SENDI file installed by RWK
yesterday at 15:05:46 -- the problem is the failure of the new SENDI to
set up the variables SI:CLASS-MARKER and *:CLASS-MARKER. Not only does
SYMBOLCONC give "bizarre" results, but any use whatsoever of any data
interfaceing to the CLASS system is effectively dead.
Fixed in SENDI 97.
RWK: do a SRCCOM on SENDI to see what I changed -- I believe that the
second BOUNDP in the .SXEVAL is the loss.
