I'm afraid you need to use GCL 2.5.0, i.e., the current CVS version of
GCL. The file README.lisps says so, but perhaps not forcefully enough.
It doesn't make me happy to rely on a CVS version, but I'm afraid that's
the way it is at this time.
If anyone has had *success* with GCL 2.4.3, I would like to hear about
it.
