This has been solved. I was using a format string that worked
with Allegro because they extended the ~* directive in an undocumented
yet sensible way so that it could take ~-1* and skip backwards.
The standard way to do this is ~1:*. xp-code.lisp gives
an error on the former while Allegro understands it.
Let this be a lesson to me.
