This is a known problem with versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 (on the Sun 3)
and 3.0.1 on the Sun 4 (and similar versions on other machines).  It
is fixed with patch 25 which is available for any implementation of
Allegro CL.  Anyone who needs patch 25 can get a copy by sending a
request to cl-bugs@franz.com.  Please be sure to specify the version
of Allegro you are running (it is printed in the banner among other
places), the machine and OS version you are running Allegro on, and
who you are and who you work for.  (It is also a good idea to include
a dribble file showing the error so we can be sure that it is patch 25
you need.)

As with any bugs, problems, or questions about Allegro CL, the fastest 
response comes when you send (or Cc) your message directly to 
cl-bugs@franz.com (or call (415) 548-3600).
