Wow, that is really amazingly bad!

Message headers in your previous email suggest you are working on Windows.
Is that right? That makes it less surprising, but totally crashing the
computer is
certainly very, very bad.

In a sense, a problem with Clisp + Windows is not too serious,
since most users are probably going to use a prepackaged GCL
or maybe ECL build. Still, I would like to know what is the problem.
