Never mind sbcl - I forget that xmaxima didn't work
with sbcl before recent maxima/xmaxima changes.

But gcl and cmucl still are problem to me.
I've build Maxima CVS with gcl 2.6.1 CVS, clisp 2.32
and cmucl 18e.

xmaxima-local -l clisp - works fine.

xmaxima-local -l gcl - starts maxima but
maxima subprocess terminates with the
message "exiting on eof" after very first
command.

xmaxima-local -l cmucl - starts maxima
but if I try to enter any command - just
nothing happens - cmucl maxima still
hangs in the background.

On the other hand if I grab xmaxima
and server.lisp from older Maxima release
and copy these two files into my build
directory - xmaxima-local works fine
with all three lisps.

Looking at the tiny difference between
new and old xmaxima and server.lisp I
don't quite understand how this could be.
