(let ((*fun* nil))
  (do ((a (list 'a 'b 'c 'd 'e) (cdr a)))
      ((endp a))
    (push #'(lambda () (format t "~a~%" a)) *fun*))
  (mapcar #'funcall *fun*))
I think that this should print out something like:
(a b c d e)
(b c d e)
(c d e)
(d e)
(e)
Instead, it prints:
nil
nil
nil
nil
nil
Am I missing something here?
