In ETHER 24.5, System 78.40, microcode 841, on Xerox Lisp Machine One:
This is a long-standing complaint. I wish that M-L in the standard
error-handler would always (instead of sometimes --- it seems to use
some strange heuristic) print out as much information as will fit into
the window it is printing out on. Typically what happens is that the
disassembly of the code wraps around and overwrites the description of
variable values. I can't read that fast.
What you request is exactly what it does. So there must be a bug. Please
provide some specific information. Perhaps there is some particular flavor
of window on which it does not work?
