I just grabbed the clisp versin of garnet and built it.  I hit the same
problem with the "saveinitmem" oni a DEC alpha box .  The problem 
is that garnet assumes you do a load of all compiled modules including 
opal/defs which calls "initialize-x11-values".  So a work-around that 
I'm doing now is to load the "saveinitmem" version then loading opal/defs. 
Everything seems to works except for the "subseq" problem where 
(subseq "hello" 3 nil) bombs.  I ended up modifying the clisp source to 
make it work.
