Re: trouble with mapcan

[hes@MIT-AI]

the function tms-assumptions1 in the file reason;tms > will neither compile
not interpret properly.  At the time that the outermost invocation of the mapcan is about 
to be exitted, the lisp machine goes into a tight loop.  This is in version 318.
In the newer software running on cadr2, the same code will be treated oddly by
the compiler.  It gives a message something like compiler:map-value declared special
while compiling the function.  The when executing the code you get an unbound variable
error on the same symbol.
   I suspect that I could program around this, but I will leave the code unchanged for
a day or two to give anyone who wants a change to find out what's wrong.
I can recreate the problem for you if need be.
