Rex, thanks for this info. I take back what I said before --
I guess we should not have --disable-debugger for sbcl builds.

Maybe someone can bring up this topic with the sbcl developers --
how to prevent the debugger from being activated in the build,
and yet have the debugger present in the compiled image.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Robert Dodier
