I'm using clisp 2.31 and "make check" reports an unknown error.
Examining tests-clisp.log, I find:

[...]
.Which was correct
/* ********************** Problem 7. *************** */
%Input is
TERM : EXP(SIN(X))
The result is
SIN(X)
%E
.Which was correct
/* ********************** Problem 8. *************** */
%Input is
DIFF(TERM, X)
FOR P UNLESS P > 7 DO (TERM : -------------,
P
P
SERIES : SUBST(X = 0, TERM) X + SERIES)
Attempt to differentiate with respect to a number:
0
-- an error. Quitting. To debug this try DEBUGMODE(TRUE);)

Is there any solution available for this? Should I use an older clisp version?
Thank you...
