(not really about) problem with ux400

I suspect some kind of hardware error. That bogus argument,
#<DTP-PACKED-INSTRUCTION-77 37777777777> looks like something with all
its bits on (38 of the 40 bits in a word are evident from the numbers in
the printed rep, but I don't know the internal tag for
DTP-PACKED-INSTRUCTION offhand). [...]
Yipes!!! Any tagged computer architecture in which all-ones is a valid
datum scares me. (Likewise all-zeroes.)
