Thanks. Yes. Actually, I had fixed that in my local copy, but I didn't
commit the fix because I neglected to note the reference. I'll update
the file once cvs reopens.

The conflicting definition is in troper.lisp. It's defined via "def%tr",
so you may have missed it.

It isn't that simple. Replacing the definition I removed will cause many
more new errors, including the one Daniel Lemire just reported. I
discussed this issue on the list a while ago. I'm sorry to see that the
story isn't over yet. I have to confess I don't understand why the error
in rtest14 is happening.

No idea.
Thanks for report,
