to_lisp() causes silent failure



You found a bug. I can reproduce it, but only under GCL. (I'm sure it
isn't GCL's fault, however.) It will get fixed.

In the meantime, you can entire single lisp commands by starting a
command with :lisp. For example,

(C1) :lisp (format t "hello~%")
hello
NIL
(C1) 

Thanks,
Jim
