Funny you mention this. I was just banging my head against the wall
with a problem (trying to run Dan Stangers qfactor code) where the
compiled version of mlisp.lisp crashes the system, but if you reload
source Lisp, the interpreted version works just fine. Unfortunately,
compile-file also crashes the system, so I can't try recompiling to see
what happens...!
Has anyone else run into these problems?
