Hmmm...

I compiled your latest CLISP on my Linux "SLS 1.02", with no
crashes (a few warnings, of course).

But "make test" died comparing files.

Running CLISP gave me the sign-on screen, but running a
little 2-page program crashed Linux.  FIRST time I ever
saw Linux crash!

A gentleman from Italy who ported AKCL to Linux says you
run AKCL on your Linux box!!!  Odd...
