Hi
	This surely is a bug, with the May 96 CLISP


Starting lisp ...

> 
> `(a `(b `(c ,@(d `(e)))))
*** - The syntax ,@form is valid only in lists
1. Break> abort

*** - EVAL: variable ABORT has no value
2. Break> abort

1. Break> abort


But note that


> `(b `(c ,@(d `(e))))
(B `(C ,@(D `(E))))


works as (I think) it should.
